Remarks

Determine whether the typeface set on the paint has a glyph supporting the string. The simplest case is when the string contains a single character, in which this method determines whether the font has the character. In the case of multiple characters, the method returns true if there is a single glyph representing the ligature. For example, if the input is a pair of regional indicator symbols, determine whether there is an emoji flag for the pair.

Finally, if the string contains a variation selector, the method only returns true if the fonts contains a glyph specific to that variation.

Checking is done on the entire fallback chain, not just the immediate font referenced.
