<div>OK, so I've spent all day trying to whittle down a document
to an MWE. The problem turns out to be rather messy, so I'll
see if I can describe it verbally, and then we can discuss
whether it makes sense to send a not-very-minimal example.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So here's what's happening. I have a document with
figure-wrap floats, several foreign languages, some musical
characters, and footnotes. I'm using polyglossia for
languages. Here's the breakage condition:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a figure wrap float, in the caption of which is a word in
Greek, due to formatting runs off the page. On the *next* page
is a footnote containing the musical characters (flats and
sharps), in English. For whatever reason, it's throwing an
error that these glyphs are missing in the *Greek* font.
Sometimes it allows me to show the output anyway, and those
glyphs -- even though they're in text coded as US-English,
using a font for which they are present, they nevertheless
show up as blanks in the footnote, but are displayed in the
main text. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you prefer, I can attach that one page as pdf. But since
the MWE involves a specifically long figure, a long length of
text, and enough different language settings to get several
languages into the document, it's not going to be terribly
small. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another option to try to get around this would be to use a
Greek font that has the codepoints for musical characters
available. Is there one?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry this is so messy. My documents always end up being a
bit … avant-garde.</div>

<div dir="ltr">PS- update. I've managed to get a use-case that
works with a small document, attached here.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The breakage is now as following: if a figure caption has a
foreign language in it, footnotes on the same page are
rendered in the same font as that foreign-language word, and
missing glyphs throw an error. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope that's minimal enough. I'm not sure If that's
related to the weird percentage-width error I was seeing
before, but I *did* see that error on one compilation run.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can insert a picture of your choosing into the float.
It doesn't seem to matter. </div>
