Comment (by pulkomandy):
BFont::Blocks probably needs us to make use of fontconfig to extract
relevant information from the fonts. We need this for other reasons as
well (implementing font overlays and picking appropriate fonts for a given
language), so if you want to continue your work with bigger tasks, this
could be one and would be very appreciated.
For item 5, I think there could be a reasonable solution using a BToolTip
(this didn't exist yet when Axel made his comment) or maybe a BPopUpMenu.
I think the Microsoft Windows character map has (had?) this and it is a
nice feature as it allows you to browse the characters at a small font
size, but still get a bigger view when needed.
