That might well be - however, I think that is because of an unclear problem statement. From the discussion, I gathered that the perceived problem is this: "Somebody maliciously sends me a patch, and I want to be able to tell visually that it's wrong." A possible answer to that was proposed as "the editor should render the characters differently", to which the counter-argument was "there is no font to do that, so the editor can't". I just wanted to point out that this just is not true: there is an approach to Unicode fonts where you can guarantee that all characters can be rendered, and that all characters rendered in that font look different.
