There's no error message there. Those are just informational messages  
from fontspec when it's setting up the font family. Apparently it  
can't find a bold face for this family, but that's not surprising if  
it's a set of ornaments.

Anyhow, that's unrelated to the character encoding problem that seems  
to be going on.
