According to the truetype font engine built into Windows, it only
supports the following scripts:
 symbol lao arabic cyrillic greek latin

So it seems the font is not declaring its support correctly.

xft / fontconfig probably lets you override such brokenness, but the
brokenness may be deeper - eg it may declare that character to have a
width of 0 or something similar.
