To start off, this is all with the latest CVS version. I did an update
just before I fired off the original email as a precaution against
making much ado about nothing.
The Insert Symbol give me the same funky characters where all the
special characters would be, but when I do an insert of them, they show
up correctly (at the high zoom/pt. size or when printing)

At first, I thought it may be a badly hinted font, but in the Gnome Font
Selector, the glyphs show up nicely at small sizes
(http://www.ecsd.com/~david/gtk_font.png) and in gv.
