Public bug reported:

I have been trying to change my font to `Terminus` (it is broken for
most other fonts as well) using either something like:

    xterm*font                   : -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

or:

    xterm*font                   : xft:Terminus:pixelsize=12

and most unicode characters seem broken. I have been testing this using:

    http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt

There is no such problem with gnome-terminal or urxvt.
