 But I think that -fixFontAttributeInRange can't be implemented
 because gui don't know which glyph is in which font.
 This information is in back, and depends on font engine.
 So this task will still be send into back to handle.
 Then why not just set the -preferredFontNames in gui
 and let back use it when it can' find the glyph in default font ?
