Bug in freetype.  Not in paragui.  Fairly serious bug actually - a lot of
fonts break because of this.

Workaround in devel-opengl branch but I don't think I'd recommend that
branch to anyone yet *sigh*
I don't know the cause - but debian-unstable shows the same problem.

in two spots in src/font/pgfont.cpp: (lines 506, 605 roughly)
--
glyph_index = FT_Get_Char_Index(Face, *c);
if ( ! glyph_index ) glyph_index = *c - 29; /* FIXME bug workaround */
--

Hope this helps
G'day, eh? :)
