[Fontconfig] Weird font size issue with ü

[Gerrit Sangel]

I sometimes get this problem if I copy a url from the clipboard to my im 
application (Kopete). Strangely, the entire url (even if there are no 
non-Ascii chars present) gets converted to these two Y. The url does not work 
anymore then.
I do not know if this is the same problem as with yours, but I also get the 
same character. I do not think this is a font problem (in my case), because 
the url does not work anymore then.
