how did you install the font? are you using an xft build?

Are you using the Xft build or not?  Installing a font needs to be done
differently depending on which one you're using, since X11+GTK2 has two
different font subsystems.

It sounds to me (from the "Rectangles with Unicode hex numbers") like you're
using the GTK2 + Xft build, but I'm guessing you only installed the font for the
traditional X11 font path.

Cherokee.ttf font was installed in the fontconfig, of course.

Then, if anything, this is an Xft bug and not a Mozilla bug, since it works fine
for me with a different font that has Cherokee characters.
