Was being happy too soon. As usual, things aren't that easy. Do not replace the FreeSans.ttf font with unicode font.
If you replace the FreeSans.ttf font with unicode font, the time module will not get time updates from the squeezeboxserver and change time zone function will not respond at all. Apparently, a double byte font will cause the internet time function to stop responding. So, right now I just replaced the FreeSansBold.ttf font. Everything works fine. Just that one only gets the international characters displayed correctly in big headings, not the second smaller line.
