By "wrongly" you mean that it looks like a different font was actually used? Because I cannot see anything wrong with the display shown in that screenshot. If the font seems to be the problem, then please use format-mode-line to format a line of text using that font, then type "C-u C-x =" on one of the characters that are rendered incorrectly, and see which font was actually used for its display. That might give a clue about what's going on.
