I had a problem with this too, for a while (previous discussion on this
list helped clear it up). Klingon letters had been placed in the PUA by
the CSUR (ConsScript Unicode Registry, an unofficial allocation of PUA
space to constructed alphabets), based on the PUA assignment of the
Linux kernel, and a few of the letters overlapped some Adobe or Apple
assignments, so documents would come out with ®'s and such all over it
instead of letters. Assigning the font explicitly helped.
I guess that's the problem with an inherently unregulated space like the
PUA. You can say "well, I get to allocate it any way that I want, I'm
using my own program," but you're not using *only* your own program.
The OS, etc. may have other ideas.
