Good questions! Does FreeType manages fonts? Selecting an alternate font when the asked glyph is absent? No idea, and I am curious to know how it is managed at the OS level.
On Linux this is managed system-wide with fontconfig, however I have no idea how it is actually implemented (and thus if Pharo could reuse it or if it would have to implement it on its own).
For DrGeo, at startup time, I load different font depending on the language of the OS host, about copy pasting chinese text it does not work for me. I got unicode values: \u81fa\u5317\u5e02 and not èºåå¸.
But may be a problem of my host.
What OS? Because Linux VM by default is NOT set to Unicode, which does cause issues. in any case, default font: CJK-friendly font: Peter â
