Thanks for coming back to me so promptly
The yellow is the selection and it should not hug the glyphs, but that is a less
horrible symptom than the ghost characters.
This is the output of C-u C-x =
character: i (105, #o151, #x69)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
code point: 0x69
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
buffer code: #x69
file code: #x69 (encoded by coding system undecided-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
(#x4C)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN SMALL LETTER I
general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
There are text properties here:
fontified t
And no I would not expect Emacs to cope with broken fonts, unfortunately which
ever font a change to I get the same problem.
