I use a font that changes the characters of latin and greek to technical symbols.
http://www.fontspace.com/micronus/y145m-2009
The font is installed and working okee.
But in the text tool -> special characters button -> others I expect to see this modified character map but instead I see the standard unicode characters.
When I use a gtk tool gucharmap I can see the character map as expected.
Now it is really combersome to enter the special characters.

Note that the text dialog has two combo boxes: for the overall main font of the text (top left), and for the formatted, current font (top center). The character map uses the font currently used in the top center combo box.
Please re-open if this does not fix your problem.
