i18n minimal test case

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6)
Gecko/20091215 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.5.6

All Unicode/non-ASCII text glyphs (accented Latin characters, mathematical
symbols, CJK characters) are rendered by as squares.  The machine in question
has sufficient fonts, but for Winforms-based applications these non-Latin
characters are not being displayed.

Examples of characters affected: "çêñ / ▸ / ¹ / 中文 / 日本語 / 한국어".

This happens with Libgdiplus 2.4.2;  the previous Libgdiplus 2.0 (shipped in
Ubuntu 09.04) was fine; the issue could equally be in
Pango/Cairo/Fontconfig---but only shows up in the case of Mono software.

Note that this is occuring with the _default_ font;  the .Font has not been
overwritten.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Attached minimal test case and screenshot demonstrate this.
