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.
