HEAD, Windows 7 64-bit, using 32-bit JDK/SWT

Run the snippet below. I'd expect the two widgets to look similar, but the StyledText has problems with rendering the snowman (\u2603) correctly in all places.

With most fonts I tried, the snowman after "abc" is rendered as a question mark in a box. Only looks OK with the "Tahoma" font. With "Segoe UI", all occurrences are rendered as snowmen, but with different shapes.

This problem only happens with certain characters. Other examples are \u266d and \u2602.

I first thought bug 170466 has returned, but the example from there still looks fine.

public class Snowman {
    private static final String STR= "key1\u2603=abc\u2603, \u2603=,";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display= new Display();
        Shell shell= new Shell(display);
        shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());

        Font font= new Font(display, "Consolas", 20, SWT.NORMAL);
        
        Text text= new Text(shell, SWT.SINGLE);
        text.setText(STR);
        text.setFont(font);

        StyledText styledText= new StyledText(shell, SWT.SINGLE);
        styledText.setText(STR);
        styledText.setFont(font);
        
        styledText.setLeftMargin(-text.computeTrim(0, 0, 0, 0).x);

        shell.pack();
        shell.open();
        while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
            if (!display.readAndDispatch())
                display.sleep();
        }
        display.dispose();
        System.out.println();
    }
