I'm a tad confised here on the usage of the Kobo Font preferences menu.

I have Atkinson Hyperlegible Next set as my font face, and Charis as the supplemental. Using EPUB Font Tester v3.0g I see the missing symbol indicator in variois places (for instance the 3rd, 7th and 8th symbol in the Macron listing).

If I change the font selection to Charis I correctly regardless of the setting for supplemental font, I see symbols in those positions.

I *thought* that the idea of the supplemental font was to use that for characters that do not exist in the main font.

Can anyone explain this for me?
