New description:

 This is r29833.

 A few possible enhancements:

 (done) 1. If I scroll down in the character map on the right side, it'd be
 nice if the current position was reflected on the left "contents" view by
 updating the selected block "heading".[[BR]]
 (done) 2. By moving the font selection into a drop down menu (to the right
 of the font size?) it would always be visible what font you're
 examining.[[BR]]
 (wontfix) 3. Is the menu item "Show private blocks" really necessary, is
 there a need to hide those?[[BR]]
 4. Blocks that don't contain any characters could be greyed out (in the
 "contents" list to the left).[[BR]]
 5. Left-clicking a character could increase its size (x2 ?) for detailed
 inspection.[[BR]]
 (done) 6. The selected character could also be shown black on white in
 front of the "Code:" line at the button. This way you can be sure you
 didn't accidentally move the mouse to the adjacent character while taking
 your eyes from it.[[BR]]
 7. CharacterMap should node-monitor for updated fonts.
