Thanks for testing. I will wait for Ravine to confirm it fixes the

I see. But I guess there was some real-life use case behind all that?
I mean, why would someone want to dump a Gzip-compressed text to the
screen, and inside Emacs on top of that?

Yes, some fonts usurp the PUA for displaying characters not (yet) in
Unicode. This being a font for Chinese, I guess they use it for
characters in GB-18030 that don't map to Unicode, or somesuch.
