Are we going to need to hunt yet another font just because of a last
minute change? Abdel, please, what is this mysterious font you rely on?
No mysterious font, simply any font that also covers unusual unicode
symbols. Obviously not everybody has such a font installed.
The proper solution would be to use the computer modern fonts we require
anyway for drawing the symbols in the document, but doing that with unicode
would imply a major reorganization of the lib/symbols file and math symbol
handling in general, so it is definitely nothing to do now.
I think you are mixing up the dialog and the work area issues. This is a
dialog issue here, if we know that some font works in all cases, we can
(and maybe should) force the dialog to use it. We are not going to use
the document side hack in the GUI.
A quick solution for now (besides reverting this stuff) could be to change
the UCS4 code points to the font code points of the cmsy font and use that
for drawing. I definitely don't like yet another font requirement.
IMO, requiring a font covering all of Unicode for the GUI is a _must_.
