So what you are looking for is a kind of file descriptor listing the font's capabilities about unicode sygns, right? I don't know if such file is available for easy grepping. My understanting (I can be wrong, of course) is that such features are hard-coded within font system libraries (as "Pango" in GTK, etc...) :-? >> If the font has not available the symbol, it will display a "fallback >> alternative" sign, this is a suggested standard feature of unicode >> fonts. >> >> > For instance, when I have Hebrew text but use a font that does not have > Hebrew glyphs, I still see Hebrew letters.
