Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gucharmap

Feature request:

Currently, I can select a font and a character range (by script or by
Unicode block) but I see a glyph for each character supported in the
fonts I have installed, whether or not it is in the selected font. What
I want to see some of the time is just the characters in the selected
font, perhaps with an indication of which other characters _can_ be
displayed using other installed fonts.

I would like to be able to toggle display of characters not in the
currently selected font in gucharmap, either on the View menu or on the
font menu, perhaps identified as "All". This would enable me to see
either the total coverage of installed fonts, or the coverage of a
selected font, as appropriate to my need. In particular, it would allow
me to find fonts covering a Unicode block or the characters required for
some application, and let others know which fonts to install for those
purposes.
