[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 503759] Re: OpenBVE displays all non-ASCII characters as squares

cablop: what is happening here is/was that the Thai fonts package was
"stealing" (claiming) a generic font name, which happens to be the
generic font name ("Microsoft Sans Serif") that Mono specifically
requests.

If there are any other font packages installed with request the same
substitution then you will see the same results with those.

What is happening is that (an unknown) font is requesting the diversion
of /everything/ to itself, but then it doesn't have the glyph coverage
in order to cover the diversion, and so boxes are displayed, that is
still happening for some reason with CJK.  Bug #539008, comment #12 on
the other bug report notes this.
