Quake III Arena demo installer, license text with tabs as rectangle

While investigating for a different bug Quake III Arena demo installer I saw
that the tabulator characters in the license text are rendered as a black
rectangle.

Tests with older wine versions (<= 1.6) did not show this error.

A git bisect points to this commit:
01280cff91896bf3cbd19fbc66d464162598768e is the first bad commit

Revert "gdi32: Use the default character when the glyph is missing.".

This reverts commit 15aa8daf6447b6f819dfc8de15db7db7645738ef.
    It breaks the default character rendering in some bitmap fonts, e.g.
Fixedsys.

When adding the line removed by this commit to current head the glitch is not
visible anymore.
