Both Opera and Firefox will swap fonts if the
character that is required is missing from the font
specified by the web page author or from the fonts the
user has set in thier options/preferences for each
unicode script range.

The problem is more pronounced in Opera, since opera
allows you set set a different preferred font for each
separate Latin block.

IE on the other hand will display the missing glyph
symbol instead of trying to swap fonts to display
missing characters.
