Definitely not! A quite reliable source, from Kermit (utf8.txt), but  
also an application, UnicodeChecker) explain:

	[Ă]  0102  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE
	[€]  20AC  EURO SIGN

Have you checked what gucharmap tells?

Anti-aliasing is not delivered from libfontconfig – you have GTK  
enabled and GNOME in use! And it's actually libfreefont2 that  
provides the calls and means to anti-aliasing, but then it's GTK+2  
that makes use of these capabilities. Libfontconfig exists to  
determine a font by describing its features – and also alternatives/ 
substitutes, it's more of a human approach.

Whether you are using fontconfig or usual X11 you can determine by  
the syntax you use to describe the font. This one is fontconfig:

	Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Roman:weight=100

the next one is usual X11, so-called XFLD syntax:

-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0- 
iso10646-1
