--- Comment #10 from Khaled Hosny <khaledhosny@eglug.org> ---
(In reply to comment #9)
and Gucharmap is
so buggy anyway (for instance, it doesn’t filter out non-avilable chars
properly, instead showing half-baked, on-the-fly-rendered replacements)

Half-baked, on-the-fly-rendered what?

It is a *character* map application, not a *glyph* palette, there is a world of
difference between both (and it can filter non-available characters, BTW, if
you looked hard enough).

What we have in LibreOffice is a half character map half glyph palette thing.
Every time I try to use it I find it pretty useless since I need know what font
have the character I’m looking for, which is just stupid if its purpose is to
allow inputting “special characters”. Searching the web using the character
name is usually much faster (though I usually just search in Gucharmap).
