"font fallback"
I'm always looking for a font that is able to display MANY different unicode codepoints in the same font. However, it's a practical reality that this isn't going to happen. (monospace fonts just aren't a priority for font developers, but more importantly, unicode is vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big) The solution is to make Putty perform font fallback, so it can use the best glyphs from several different fonts.
The thing is, Putty already uses Uniscribe, so why isn't this working on my computer?
Or does Putty have to explicitely call Uniscribe APIs like this?
