Hi Roman,

Thank you for the detailed bug report, it was easy to reproduce,
although the insert special characters button was at the bottom for me.

The glyphs are indeed not showing if the selected font is Edwin (the
default), but if you select a font like Noto Sans, or DejaVu Sans for
your text the characters will appear fine. It seems the “special
characters” window uses the selected font for previews.

If you can’t access your fonts in MuseScore, make sure to add fontconfig
to your shell or profile to update the load paths:

Replace: guix shell mscore font-google-noto
With:    guix shell mscore font-google-noto fontconfig

Then you will be able to select Noto Sans for your font and access these
special characters.

Does that work for you?

Good evening,
Noé
