Description Danielle Madeley 2008-01-13 03:53:14 UTC 
Often I find myself wanting to compare fonts that implement a specific character to choose the most attractive.

implementing patch

This is a patch to implement the feature. It's currently a little bit slow if you have a lot of fonts, due to it having to check one zillion PangoLayouts. Maybe someone knows how to make it faster.

Been trying for a while to figure out a way to do this. Would be super-useful.
