I can't see any obvious reason for the discrepancy. Strangely the Shavian font doesn’t work for me on Windows XP, Safari 4 Beta, yet Unifon, Ewellic and Tengwar do.

Metacity may still be relevant for some in GNOME 3 and that bug would need to be fixed as those symbols will not be available anymore.

From my experience, "Metacity" was awful already because I have no idea how to accentuate it (Meta-city? Me-tAcity?) nor what the name means. For "Mutter", German users likely will be torn between the pronunciation for German word for "mother" and between the English-sounding pronunciation for "to mutter" (if they are familiar with English pronunciation). If you mention the name in a group where some people prefer the "German mother" sound and others the "to mutter" sound, confusion ensues. Just something I wanted to get off my mind.
