The following on-board fonts are preventing the display of the characters in question: Avenir, Amasis, Caecilia, Georgia, KBJ-UDKakugoPr6N-M. This leaves in the directory of on-board fonts on my device the following files:

Code:

[root@(none) ~]# ls usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts
GillSans-Bold.ttf            Malabar-Bold.ttf
GillSans-BoldItalic.ttf      Malabar-BoldItalic.ttf
GillSans-Italic.ttf          Malabar-Italic.ttf
GillSans.ttf                 Malabar.ttf
Gothic MB101.otf             OpenDyslexic-Bold.otf
KBJ-TsukuMinPr6N-RB.ttf      OpenDyslexic-BoldItalic.otf
KoboNickel-Bold.ttf          OpenDyslexic-Italic.otf
KoboNickel-BoldItalic.ttf    OpenDyslexic-Regular.otf
KoboNickel-Italic.ttf        Ryumin.otf
KoboNickel.ttf

Note that Gothic MB101.otf and Ryumin.otf are empty files.
The important file is KBJ-TsukuMinPr6N-RB.ttf. Without it there would be no font left that the GUI can use before a book is opened. Curiously, the GUI does not display Japanese characters, even after opening a book. (It does however still display Japanese characters in books.)
