I thought it was, sorry.

So if this is the case, then I think the only way we can reasonably
improve the situation in this area is to have a more elaborate font
setup.  It would be good to know what font is used by terminal
emulators, like xterm or rxvt, in these cases, so we could see if we
could use the same font setup.
