I guess so.  I'm surprised that DejaVu Sans Mono is broken, though, so
perhaps there is something else going on.

This reminds me of a related thing I've wondered about: We don't combine
glyphs from different fonts, because this may look very ugly.  But has
anybody tried doing it anyway?  It may not look worse than what some
people are seeing today...
