this happens with mail headers as well.
to repro: enter a backslash into the subject and observe the window title, it

Ludovic, I use Japanese MS Win, and Japanese Font is used as UI Font(MS UI Gothic or similar), and all Japanese Fonts I have on MS Win has glyph of yen-sign for 0x5C.
So I can't check this bug.

Kasumi san, does problem still exist even after Kochi font or some others became popular(and now we can download IPA font as ".otf" files), and even after improvements around font selection/switching?
