+//               that it is not guaranteed that a font will return
+//               this particular glyph for a missing character (it may
+//               return a glyph of its own devising instead).  
+//
+//               Also note that even if a particular accented letter
+//               is missing from the font, Panda may still be able to
+//               render a suitable replacement by composing different
+//               glyphs together to simulate accent marks; this
+//               happens automatically behind the scenes.
