--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
This is valid. But I don't think we should dump it onto Akshay's GSOC 2017
plate.

Would need to toggle the search to be within a single font, or some composite
of on system fonts.

For an example of how this could be handled, have a look at Andrew West's work
on BableMap [1] where he provides mapping for a Single font or for a Composite
font. 

Also provides a "Font Coverage..."  that shows which fonts provide glyph for
codepoint.
