We either keep 0xfffd now and the user gets the nodef glyph, or I revert

Decision has to be made today.  I will release 2.11.1 tomorrow.

I vote for keeping the patch and printing 0xFFFD.  It's okay in the default case,
it's exactly what was requested in the non-standard font case and it's future
proof in case ConHost implements rendering using fallback fonts.
