CoreText renderer doesn't do font fallback

When using the CoreText renderer, MacVim doesn't appear to do any font fallback. Glyphs that don't exist in the current font are always rendered with the missing glyph icon instead of invoking system font fallback to find some font that can supply the glyph.

This used to work. But I'm not quite sure when it broke. Either MacVim used to do font fallback and stopped at some point, or updating from OS X 10.10 to 10.11 somehow broke this. I'm using a custom font (a patched version of Menlo for Powerline) so I know the font didn't change out from under me.

To see this, try pasting ⟶ or ⟹ into MacVim with the 'guifont' set to Menlo:h11 and "Use Core Text renderer" enabled. Here's a screenshot showing it occurring with mvim -N -u NONE:

Note: When the CoreText renderer is disabled, MacVim does use font fallback, but it doesn't handle line height properly. I've filed this as #244.

Mit mvim -N -u NONE reproduzieren, wobei 'guifont' auf Menlo:h11 gesetzt und der CoreText-Renderer aktiviert ist, dann ⟶ oder ⟹ einfügen. Mit deaktiviertem CoreText vergleichen; abgeschlossen ist es, wenn fehlende Glyphen den Systemschrift-Fallback verwenden, während der CoreText-Renderer aktiviert bleibt.
