Take the tour ×  What font does Ubuntu use for really irregular
characters like 𠆢, and just general Chinese characters? Since it
sort of falls back to a font that does have the glyphs, its
impossible to tell where it's coming from. Also, does anyone
know of any tools I can use to see what glyphs a *.ttf file
supplies (For linux, naturally :P)?  share|improve this question

fallback fonts are decided by Fontconfig; it consults the
configuration in /etc/fonts as well as the glyphs provided by
all fonts to determine or decide which particular font is used
to provide the character. You can right-click on a character in
Character Map to see which font has been used to backfill the
character.  Newer versions of GNOME Character Map can restrict
display of glyphs to a specific installed font, but you will
have to use something like FontForge in order to view available
glyphs in a compact format.  share|improve this answer Thanks,
