I encountered the same problem and the following worked for me:

Go to /etc/fonts/conf.d
Backup then remove any of the *.conf entries for the Google Droid font (in my case 59- droid-serif-fonts.conf 60-droid-sans-mono-fonts.conf 65-droid-sans-fonts.conf)
Update fontconfig fc-cache -f -r

Your problem should now be fixed :-D

I installed ttf-ancient-fonts from the Ubuntu Package Center and that provided me the necessary unicode fonts.
