Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Ah, I didn't notice that. So here is probably what happens:
 * The stars are available in DejaVu, but not Droid
 * You didn't have VL-Gothic installed so there was no way to fallback to
 it (it is our only fallback font currently)

 Root problem is the same anyway: we need a better font overlay that will
 look for missing symbols in more fonts, until it finds one that works.
