No mysterious font, simply any font that also covers unusual unicode
symbols. Obviously not everybody has such a font installed.

The proper solution would be to use the computer modern fonts we require
anyway for drawing the symbols in the document, but doing that with unicode
would imply a major reorganization of the lib/symbols file and math symbol
handling in general, so it is definitely nothing to do now.

A quick solution for now (besides reverting this stuff) could be to change
the UCS4 code points to the font code points of the cmsy font and use that
for drawing. I definitely don't like yet another font requirement.
