Bug Description

When using a textbox, for example:

  http://fonttest.design.canonical.com/

paste the sequence 'ಠ_ಠ' (ಠ U+0CA0 KANNADA LETTER TTHA) into the textbox and then highlight the text with the mouse cursor. The whole textbox of characters will now appear stroked instead of filled.

Also tried with Firefox, but bug does not occur there.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.517.13 Safari/534.

This is getting substituted from another font (the Ubuntu Font Family does not cover Thai).

Assuming that right-clicking with Charmap is leading to the same result in the browser, then this is being substituted in from the "Kedage" font.
