Good.

This could be because some of the characters/glyplhs are missing, and being 
picked
from tne next nearest choice?

Yes, I think so.

Check out the local .conf file for font config?  Changes are something like,

<alias>
        <family>this-font</family>
        <prefer>
           <family>another-font</family>
        </prefer>
</alias>

A look at the fontconfig documentation may also be useful?

HTH.
