[Solved] Determine font used to render a character with fontconfig?

Hey guys,

I was curious if there was a way using one of the fc-* fontconfig utilities (or another tool) to determine what font will render a specific glyph in the current configuration.

For example, if I wanted to know what font would render the '├' glyph when using the 'monospace' font. Obviously I can lookup what font is used for 'monospace' with '$ fc-match monospace', but this doesn't tell me if that font contains the '├' character, and if not, what font in the preferred chain does.

This appears to be the closest answer!. You can search for a character and right click to find out what font is rendering it.
