In Windows the parallel technique works, too. One can open the Windows 
application, "Character map", select a character, and copy it into the 
dialog. So, until this issue is finally resolved, I'll use the more 
appropriate of two work-arounds. If I need only a character or two, I'll 
use the "copy from charmap" method; if I need more, I'll prepare my text 
in a word processor which exports graphics, and import the graphics file 
exported from that into GIMP.
