Bug#960633: gucharmap: does not show any glyph from Fantasque Sans Mono, due to chosen woff format?

Package: gucharmap
Version: 1:13.0.2-1
Severity: normal

gucharmap does not show any character from Fantasque Sans Mono
(provided by fonts-fantasque-sans 1.7.2~alpha.3~dfsg-2).

Note: Make sure that "Show only glyphs from this font" is ticked,
otherwise some special characters (from other fonts?) can be shown.

The output from strace shows that
/usr/share/fonts/woff/fantasque-sans/FantasqueSansMono-Regular.woff
is used, and perhaps gucharmap does not support this font format
(Web Open Font Format). But this font is also available in the
OpenType font format (.otf) and in TrueType font format (.ttf).
So the problem comes from gucharmap in any case.
