My limited knowledge of X fonts causing trouble again!
I thought that perhaps for fonts for a certain language,
e.g. Korean, there might be one registry but several encodings,
so just selecting the registry would be useful.

There is a toggle button below the fonts list. It only becomes sensitive
when a non-empty filter is set, and is active/pressed when the filter
is in effect. Maybe its not obvious enough!

It happens after you select a 2-byte font, and then a normal font.
(You might be able to see it in earlier versions of GtkFontSelection < 0.5?)
It seems as if the text has scrolled off to the left - you have
to do a Ctrl-a or drag the mouse off the left of the entry to see the
text again.
