--- Comment #12 from Brennan Kinney <polarathene-sig...@hotmail.com> --- Perhaps a toggle button with a bundled font, if you're able to specify multiple fonts for fallback like CSS has? When enabled, this would allow for using whatever font is currently in the dropdown box as the 1st font, and then the fallback font(specified in settings if bundling isn't possible, although that makes the feature less reliable, perhaps package managers can ensure the dependency?). This would make the distinction pretty clear, and perhaps be relatively easy to support this feature, so that KCharSelect is reliable utility for inspecting glyph support in a font? You can create your own font for the fallback glyph, or use existing solutions. There is Adobe Blank(v1, v2, VF) which is intended for this type of purpose but as the name implies, is a blank fallback, so the cell would just look empty. They have an alternative called Adobe NotDef, which provides the familiar rectangle tofu glyph, another is TofuDetector, which is suggested by behdad(Pango and I think FontConfig core developer?)
