The comment states; "Using only the characters contained in Vera font" Since commit a1fb23fe4ae01c368e483e80523db234d47672bb "Allow printing more UTF-8 characters (if the font used supports it) than just ASCII" it is possible to use a more complete font. dejavu-fonts-ttf is fine for Greek (and the issue you had reported earlier) and most probably for languages with other European alphabets like Russian or less common diacritics like Turkish or Czech (but translations for these three are partial enough that the issue doesn't show). Do you know a font that could be used for Japanese ? Russ Allbery patched his Debian builds long ago to use the system dejavu fonts instead of shipping one with gnubg. We should probably do something similar, or preferably use fontconfig to find an adequate font for better portability.
