Bug#449334: gnome-font-viewer: fails to take into account the glyphs available in the font

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.20.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer
I recently tried some viewing some of the smaller fonts from
http://www.stixfonts.org/ and noted that gnome-font-viewer ignores the
glyphs available in the font and just tries to use the standard "quick
brown fox" phrase. kfontview gets it right and uses the glyphs in the
font when "quick brown fox" glyphs are not available. If you report this
upstream, please ask them to create a libfontview library so that both
applications can share the same code for character selection and
anything else relevant.
