Hi everyone.
I'm searching for a tool to verify what's inside a font.
It often happened to install a font which I'd love to discover only later that some charater was missing (as for example omacron Ō or similar). So I was wondering if there is not in ubuntu, or for linux in general, any tool that permits doing some checks in this sense.
PS: The charmap does not what i want to do, because also selecting a font from the list the smart program fetches automatically the missing characters for the other font. So I need something more stupid!
Thank you, and some informations about terminology will be appreciated (font is the container, and character is a single glyph?)
