Names such as LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE belong to Unicode code
points, not to glyphs.  They do not depend on the font used to display
the character.

So I think it makes sense to show those names independent of
the kind of display.

On a graphic display, it should show the glyph data (as now)
in addition to those Unicode character names.
