That is about all you can do. As far as I know, if the character is missing you get that little square which gives the position in the table.
If the font is missing, a default font is used. I always assumed it is "Sans" as this bit of Gimp code.
Code:
/* No font with this name exists, use the standard font, but...
standard_font = g_object_new (GIMP_TYPE_FONT, "name", "Sans-serif",but what is replaced in my linux computer is 'Standard Symbols' and in a Win10 / Gimp 2.10 the replacement called 'Standard' looks very like Verdana to me. That was the Windows default up to Win7 when Segoeui took over.
