As far as I understand (and from the docs) I can just pass unicode 
strings to Font.render, and it will work. This example shows that for 
some characters, it doesn't. Should I log a bug in a tracker 
somewhere? I tried (in the example code) to pass the string encoded 
as utf-16 and utf-8 as well, also with no luck.
