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

IMO, requiring a font covering all of Unicode for the GUI is a _must_.
You can't make assumptions on what fonts users have installed and what
characters they can see, at least not beyond a certain point. For
Windows, that probably means restricting yourself to the WGL4 character
set for GUI elements and doing everything else with graphics. I guess
the situation with Linux is similar.
Incidentally there is no font "covering all of Unicode" anyway, unless
you want to run your GUI in Code 2000, which is as close as it gets.
