Huh. I looked at the HELLO file, and you seem to be right. It's pulling 
in
fonts as needed for various South Asian, East Asian, and Middle/Near 
Eastern
languages, but still failing horribly with unicode box drawing, as well 
as
various symbols (like the recycle symbol, which we use abundantly on
identi.ca). Perhaps Consolas falsely reports that it has those symbols.
