... and if we want to re-use exactly *this* dialog, then it only can de
implemented by making this dialog multi-tab: one tab for the fonts' glyphs
(having everything it has now), and another tab for "control characters", which
would be font-agnostic, and would be there to implement that "users found this
in UI, let's provide this here" idea (which is valid, but must not confuse by
pretending that these characters are present in a font where they are not).
Additionally, such distinction could emphasize their functional role; in that
dialog, we could explain their functionality, and help to choose the one that
is needed for some specific need, better than using a cell in the grid.
