This is for anybody else who is troubled by the weird characters which appear in gnumeric help pages. Last year, these displayed as an accented A, this year (perhaps because I'm now using a newer gecko) they displayed as squares with four dots (technically, the dots are the character code, but way too small to read). Anyway...

It turns out that these are some form of whitespace, probably what is referred to as 'spacing modifier letters'. The required glyph(s) is/are present in dejavu-ttf-2.4 from http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
