<pre>Less an issue with the order in GUI, and more to do with a symbol font like
Marlett. Symbol fonts receive the SYMBOL_CHARSET mapping of their PUA onto the
lower 254 characters of ASCII
A symbol font like Marlett will rarely if ever have its PUA mapped onto the
Unicode system codepoint names, meaning the Search function in our Special
Symbol dialog will find nothing.
But, there is a LibreOffice issue in populating the character map. When the
font does not have coverage of UCS name string (i.e. no matching glyphs in the
font) the chart should show nothing. Instead it is receiving some weird hybrid
chart.
For example...search for "combi" for alll COMBINING form UCS, and select U+338
for "COMBINING LONG SOLIDUS OVERLAY".
Change from from default Liberation Serif to Liberation Sans Narrow (that has
no coverage of U+338). We get the correct glyph preview with a "Missing
character" label. But we also get an incorrect chart of glyphs--there are no
combining characters in Liberation Sans Narrow, so the chart *should* be empty.
And in another glitch, again selecting Liberation Serif font from the drop
list, will show the correct glyph from the font--but the font chart is *empty*.
As if the chart is not being recalculated on font change.</pre>
