Hi, I was wondering if there is some way to insert a symbol from a font into the document. I think it would be nice to have some sort of 'insert symbol' option with a window that let's you choose a font from those installed on the system or open a font file and presents you with the glyphs in that font. Then you select one (or even more) and it gets inserted in the document as a path. I would be really helpfull if you have some fonts with graphics.

There are tons of such "charmap" utilities for any OS. Just use one of them, copy the char and paste it into Inkscape.
