Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-specimen
As per upstream request, I am re-filing Debian bug #493088 here.
Package: gnome-specimen
Version: 0.4-3
Severity: normal
Hi!
I am in awe about this really helpful and nice tool. Though, there is
one drawback that I noticed (possibly because of my German locale):
gnome-specimen does display characters that aren't included in the font
with the default font it seems. That is, if a font doesn't contain
informations for e.g. German umlauts, gnome-specimen will still display
rendered umlauts - but they are coming from a totally different font.
I almost was about to file a bugreport against a font for b0rked
characters because of this until I looked more closer. It would be a
better idea to display the not found box [] or nothing at all instead of
the corresponding character from the default font, to make it clear that
the font doesn't contain support for that character.
Thanks,
Rhonda
