I have a set of characters that are supposed to look similar, but one of them doesn’t. I’m assuming this is because either that one is, or all the others are not supported by the (monospace) font I use in that context, and it’s falling back to another font which has it/them.
How do I find out which characters are the missing one in my chosen font?

FWIW the characters are ○◔◑◕●, the second one is the one looking different, and the font is CommitMono.

Das Internet ist voll mit fragwürdigen Font Webseiten denen ich nicht wirklich traue.
Bei MyFont kostet wirklich jede Font Geld, auch wenn sie für non-commercial use ganz offiziell kostenlos wäre.

Kennt ihr Seiten die vertrauenswürdiger sind auf denen ich Fonts bekomme?

Was sind eure go-to Webseiten?

The hardest working font in Manhattan https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/

Das Kaufmanns-Und (&) heißt eigentlich Et-Zeichen, weil es typographisch gesehen eine Ligatur des lateinischen Wortes et (dt. und) ist. #fontNerds
