"When a character (codepoint) in a string is displayed, if the
requested font does not have that codepoint the OS substitutes a glyph from
another font (or the missing character glyph if no font supports the
codepoint). So for example if you change the font of the above flag of Scotland
to Arial, it still displays as the flag of Scotland, even though this glyph is
not in Arial. LC will still report that the font of this character is Arial:
from what I can gather this is not the fault of LC, the OS is doing this
substitution behind its back (TextEdit does the same). But is there any way to
find out (programatically) the actual font being used? "
Well, LiveCode does not seem to function as well as it should in this respect.
