Is there a compose equivalent to Paint.hasGlyph()? https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Paint?hl=en#hasGlyph(java.lang.String)

Nope. Feel free to file a feature request. What are you trying to do?

I’m showing large full width (Chinese) characters (one per Text composable). I’d like to detect whether the glyph is supported by the (user-configured) font so I can show something more useful (e.g. write the hex codepoint in its place) rather than the usual tall empty rectangle.

In the days before Paint.hasGlyph() I used to check by drawing the character to a bitmap and comparing with the bitmap of a known codepoint with unsupported glyph!

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] should I file it on the Android issuetracker?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Yes please
