However, your kind explanation rather enhances one part of my concern: WHERE does Gimp fish for the characters lacking in a font, and is there any way to direct it to a particular font?
Too many of the fonts I deal with--for covers of books between 1800 and 1940, I would choose first editions HC when available and decent-looking--are like those last two, lacking most of unicode, and very often with hardly any punctuation. I took it for granted that, in such a situation, Gimp would default to 'Standard' (in windows, it looks like Segoe or some other ugly sans font), as it does when one opens with text tool a layer in some font one has removed. However, my experience with Old Letterpress hints that Gimp would simply cicle through all fonts in alphabetical order until it comes to one showing the missing character...
Maybe the question is chiefly academic, as the workaround is to to select the guilty character and choose a likely font for it, but I am still curious.
Thanks again for your very kind and useful trouble.
