Not really possibly - right now the user can change fonts with the font
menu, if we make the layout of the screen dependent upon what is in the
font, that will lead to Badness.

Maybe we could have allocate something in the Linux Zone to act as as an
easily recognisable default-combining-character glyph. (But defining this
will be tough, considering the number and variety of actually existing
ones)
