Mac users don't need this, but about a year ago I made a little command-line utility called "fontswith," which searches the fonts on a system for one or more glyphs and reports which ones the system has, e.g.
me> fontswith Amacron me> fontswith U+FB01 eacute
A search can take a minute or so, but fontswith can also build an index so that searches can usually be done in about a second. You need Python 2.3 or higher and a reasonably recent build of FontForge (with its Python extensions). It's here:

A reasonably decent little utility for Linux.

Sure, that would tell you if a font had a glyph at that code point, but what Character Viewer does is tell you, for a given code point, which fonts have that glyph.
