Screenshot of browse showing no characters found in region
SUMMARY
***
When browsing characters in the kcharselect, it shows everything in the current
UI font. Not the selected font.
This means if the font I'm looking through has custom or unusual glyphs, they
don't display at all, or display something that is incorrect. Weirdly enough if
you provide it the *precise* glyph number, it will show up. It's probably a bug
with the browse mode.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run kcharselect
2. Select a custom OTF or OTF font
3. Look for customized characters that don't exist in your default system font
4. When the character doesn't exist, try providing the exact character number
reference (or pasting it) and see that it shows up.
OBSERVED RESULT
Expected custom characters aren't visible in the browse window.
EXPECTED RESULT
All glyphs in any given font would be visible.
