Yes. they are mule-unicode-* characters. My question is still primarily if there is anything more that should be written in the documentation about how to avoid those empty boxes, now that intlfonts isn't enough anymore. I think many users might wonder about this. (I'm currently using a Fedora Core 4 system with every font package installed + Intlfonts, which they unfortunately don't include.)
