I wouldn't refer to the boxed number glyphs as 'garbled' - they show the 
character values and allow editing when fonts do not contain particular 
characters.

Font mapping and combining seems to work poorly with GTK on Windows - its worse 
than native Win32 APIs or GTK on Linux. Restricting choice to just fonts 
observed to be safe would likely be counterproductive as a font that works well 
with one language (such as Chinese) may not contain the characters for other 
languages (such as Arabic). I don't think there is anything worth changing in 
the code and the user should choose a font that works for them.
