I have reported this on Mantis as bug#922 and have attached a changeset that 
fixes this for all but platform=3,specific=0 (Windows symbol) fonts (like, 
for instance, Marlett).

http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=922

My idea was to just take such fonts and load their glyphs at $A through 
whatever so they could be typed easily. However, I didn't get that working 
yet, and I'm too busy to finish it.
