For bitmap fonts, see if `xfd' shows the glyph corresponding to the codepoint.
Typically only bitmap fonts ending in `-iso10646-1' will have any glyphs > 256.

I have `*renderFont: false' because bitmap fonts are faster. If I want to see
Unicode chars., I simply turn on `TrueType Fonts' from the menu, and font-size
selection works as usual.
