Quote/Cytat - "Janusz S. Bien" <jsbien@xxxxxxxxxxxx> (Mon 06 Jan 2014

Gucharmap has an option to turn off fallback, and so does Pango, but for
a Qt application you will need a Qt solution.
For archive, I've found
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/platform-api-reference/xml/daily-docs/libqt4/qfont.html
"QFont::NoFontMerging 0x8000 If the font selected for a certain
writing system does not contain a character requested to draw, then Qt
automatically chooses a similar looking font that contains the
character. The NoFontMerging flag disables this feature. Please note
that enabling this flag will not prevent Qt from automatically picking
a suitable font when the selected font does not support the writing
system of the text."
and
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-9816
"Add style strategy to QFont to turn off automatic font resolution completely
The QFont::NoFontMerging flag turns off font merging within a single
script item, but still allows automatically picking different fonts
for each script item if the currently selected font does not support
the script in question."
I would appreciate very much your comments to the quoted passages:
what is the meaning of "script" or "writing system" in this context?
How the system can check whether the font supports a given script or
not? Is it a property of a font? If so, how is it encoded?
Best regards
Janusz
