First of all, this bug is probably related to, but not the same as bug 91748. When inserting a special character, and the dialog appears, it correctly shows the grid of all the characters available to insert for the default typeface. But, if one changes the typeface (without exiting the dialog) into another one, with a wider number of symbols available, the list of *available* symbols remains the same. Steps: 1) Create a new document. It could be any with any Liberation family typeface as default. In the screenshot I'm attaching, is an ODS with Lib. Sans. 2) Press "Insert special character" button. The dialog appears, showing the preview grid. 3) Change typeface. Select a font with a wider set of available symbols, i.e., Linux Libertine or Ubuntu. Result: The grid has correctly updated the preview of the symbols, but not the available symbols (screenshot 2) Expected: The dialog should show all the available symbols after selecting a different typeface. Additional comments: a) After selecting a new typeface, scrolling the preview grid is really laggy. b) Some of the rendered symbols doesn't correspond with the selected typeface. c) If one change the typeface (direct formatting) before pressing the "Insert special character" button, all the symbols are available.

Created attachment 117406 [details] Screenshot 2 After selecting a typeface with a wider set of characters (Ubuntu in this case), not all of them are shown: only the previous available from the previous type (Liberation Sans).

And this one, which os about the > glyph that are shown is still present. Reopened bug 91748, which included issue of refreshing the grid of glyphs when changing font selection. Which, despite c#15 there was apparently not fixed.
