Let me speculate. Let as say machine A is much older than machine B,
and has gradually through a series of many updates reached the same
level of OS as machine B.

Let us say that fonts on A were installed long ago, say before unicode
support was standard. They have remained undisturbed.

To test my hypothesis, check the dates and lengths of the fonts on
machine A and B. If they differ, you could try uninstalling and
reinstalling fonts on machine A.

If that did not work, if you were prepared to live dangerously, do a
full backup, then copy the B machine fonts into machine A.

If that did not work, you could reformat the disk, install your OS
from scratch, and reinstall apps and restore data.
