System Information
OS : Windows 10 Home 64 bit
CPU : Intel i5-4210H
GPU : nVIDIA GTX 950M

Blender Version
ver:2.79
Hash:5bd8ac9

Short description of error
When a new text object is generated, the default font is set to Bfont.
However, this font does not seem to support characters of, for example, Japanese, Korean and Arabic.
Even worse, characters are invisible when it is not supported. (In other fonts, a box appears to show that the character is not supported)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Add new text object to the scene.
copy some Japanese text from somewhere.
paste the text at the edit mode of the text object

Note

To see that the text is acutally there, Switch to a font that supports the lang .
This happens even when the international font is anabled.
