This is the output of C-u C-x = character: i (105, #o151, #x69) preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV)) code point: 0x69 syntax: w which means: word category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman buffer code: #x69 file code: #x69 (encoded by coding system undecided-unix) display: by this font (glyph code) xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x4C) Character code properties: customize what to show name: LATIN SMALL LETTER I general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase) There are text properties here: fontified t And no I would not expect Emacs to cope with broken fonts, unfortunately which ever font a change to I get the same problem.
