What decides about the character range displayed in Character Map? For
fonts shipping with the OS, only characters having glyphs in them are
displayed. For at least some custom fonts, I see U+0021 to U+FFFE which is kind of
pointless.
An application has to believe the information that is provided by the font file itself. If a font claims to contain 65,000 characters, then any application will assume it actually does. If all of those entries then map to space (or really anything else), that is a different issue.
Name a font that exhibits such behavior (preferably a free/open source one...) and I'll take a look at its encoding. That ought to tell everything.
