Title:
  Display all fonts providing a glyph

Status in GUCharMap:
  Confirmed
Status in gucharmap package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gucharmap

  In the zoom window, gucharmap displays the name of the font where it found a
  glyph. I would really appreciate to have a list of all the fonts providing the
  glyph, and a preview of the corresponding version.

  It can currently done by selecting each font in turn in the font selection
  menu, and looking at the zoom window, but this is a tedious operation, which
  can be automated.

  This feature request was made in Gnome's gucharmap, but nothing has been done about it.

  The patch looks substantial - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/review?bug=484357&attachment=96811

  I'm bumping it over to here, maybe the ubuntu community complete this
  patch and backport it.
