<pre>More generally, the issue is as follows:
The Insert Special Character dialog should allow the user to locate, select and
insert Unicode characters which are non-printing, regardless of which font
family is chosen in the dialog.
However - that is not the case. With some selected families - one cannot even
locate, let alone select and copy, some of these characters; while with other
families, more (or all) of them are available, e.g.
Specifically, I tried this with the Right-Left Override character, and got
* Failure with: David CLM (bundled with LibreOffice), Nachlieli CLM, Linux
Libertine, Georgia
* Success with: Liberation Sans, Liberation Serif, Noto Sans
and I also tried this with Right-to-Left Mark, and got:
* Failure with: Linux Libertine, Georgia
* Success with: David CLM, Nachlieli CLM, Liberation Sans, Liberation Serif,
Noto Sans
(the choice of fonts is arbitrary, except that David CLM is LibreOffice'
default for Hebrew text)</pre>
