Subject: [PATCH] window_init: check if asterisk font is available and provide
 fallback character

Downstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1980173
On Fedora 34, using US locale (LANG=en_US.UTF-8), when both
"dejavu-sans-fonts" and "bitstream-vera-sans-fonts" rpms are installed,
* xscreensaver-auth requests "sans-serif" to xft
* xft chooses bitstream-vera-sans (according to fontconfig settings)
  45-latin.conf seems to be saying so.
* gucharmap shows that while "dejavu-sans-fonts" contains glyph for "U+25CF",
  however bitstream-vera-sans-fonts does not.
Then such people sees white rectangles when typing password.

For now, check if corresponding font is available, and if not, provide
fallback character
