From a rst2pdf user's request:

Sometimes a glyph is not available in a specific font. For example, unicode
box drawing characters are not in Courier. Is there a way reportlab could give
a warning if it's being asked to draw a glyph in a font that doesn't have it?

That way there will be a warning at rendering time instead of having to view
the pdf result.

by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
