I'm having a bizarre problem in 0.44 with text objects containing characters from the PUA -- specifically, Klingon glyphs -- and I thought I'd check here to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid before submitting a bug report.
Any hints? Has this been seen before? If it is a bug, what information (beyond the usual) would you like to see on the report?
Font-related problems are not uncommon, and while I've heard of others doing klingon text in Inkscape, those were limited situations and probably didn't run into those particular characters.
First look in the bug tracker to see if this bug is already recorded there (perhaps same symptoms but a different font or something). If not, start a new bug report.
Standard stuff to include with font-related bugs include the versions of your distro, freetype and inkscape, the font itself, and screenshots showing what you're seeing.
