So I guess this font is not a good choice for Emacs.

Po Lu, what are our recommendations for fonts to use in the Android
port?  Do users need to do something special on Android devices to
have reasonable font setup?  It sounds like this user has no fonts at
all that could display the non-ASCII symbols used by info.el.  If this
situation is probable enough, perhaps the test in info.el that probes
these characters for being displayable should in the Android case
disregard the display-multi-font-p condition?
