The first frame is OK! Check out your default-frame-alist and initial-frame-alist, if you customized them. Or maybe you are invoking Emacs with a command-line switch that specifies a font. Either way, somehow you are forcing on all frames but the initial one a font that doesn't have glyphs for some characters, so Emacs displays them as boxes with the character's codepoint.
