So the example didn't work, because you do have a font for those
characters.  Can you find some characters that don't have fonts?  For
example, do any of the scripts in etc/HELLO show as tofu or "blank"?

should have seen tofu; if you are not interested in trying to figure
this out further, I'm fully prepared to stop asking questions.)
