Hi Brecht,
Thanks for review. I thought that Blender uses
release/datafiles/fonts/droidsans.ttf.gz in all parts of UI. BTW:
Blender text editor can display 'black circle' character, which would be
IMHO better, because 'bullet' character looks too small.

Anyway, when any UTF-8 character longer then one byte is used, then this
hack doesn't work properly. Blender places cursor at wrong place and it
can cause crash of Blender. When simple 'asterisk' character is used,
then this hack works without any problem.
