Sorry, I don't agree on that.
Yes, the font might be broken in a technical sence - but there are people (aka
"normal users") who use it anyway. And nearly nobody cares because it is an
icon font and used as such.
Simply removing the font is the worst you can do to the users.
And there are more fonts out there that abuse the ASCII positions (no, I won't
name any of them) - do you also want to ban those?
BTW: What sort of problems do you expect?
(Unreadable text is expected behaviour on icon fonts, so it doesn't count as
bug.)
