The problem you describe sounds like a font issue:  the program is 
printing characters that aren't in the font it is using.  This sometimes 
happens when an application stores its font setting as a number (like, 
"the 19th font in the list") instead of a face name, and the font list 
changes.  I don't think that's the case here.

However, I don't see that the Scintilla code ever sets the font for the 
titles.  The code itself gets all of the formatting applied, so it gets 
fonts and colors.  Is the title really being printed with whatever font 
was leftover in the dc?  That's probably a bug.
