For ascii:
-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso8859-1
For the non-ascii characters:
-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-p-80-iso10646-1
This is post-merge, in the pre-merge buffer, the corresponding line of
the character description for both ascii and non-ascii characters is
this:
dejavu sans mono:pixelsize=12:foundry=unknown:weight=medium:slant=r:width=normal

I cannot reproduce this; maybe it was a random redisplay glitch, which I
just happened to catch in the screen shot. (In contrast, the broken
underlining persists.)
