--- Comment #19 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The use case is valid, actually both, and sometimes you want to remember a
glyph for a certain font, for example when picking special symbols, and
sometimes you want to insert glyphs that are available in most fonts and direct
formatting is not needed.

Some ideas come in mind: 
a) have a global option, 
b) do some smart comparison and use the current font if the glyph code pointer
and the name match the stored item (and perhaps showing an infobar if the
stored glyph is not available for the current font), 
c) introduce another command that allows the user to either store with the font
"Add to favorites with font" or to remember just the unicode pointer per "Add
to favorites" (or with different labels). 

Moving this to the duplicate ticket though.
