Nothing. The short answer is that it was a bug, and it's fixed for the
next release. (It's fixed in CVS for version 203.5.)

A longer answer is that MrEd always requested ANSI_CHARSET fonts from
Windows, instead of asking Windows what charset a particular face
supplies, and then requesting that charset. The "Chess Leipzip" and
"ZapfDingbats BT" font faces supply SYMBOL_CHARSET.
