It is a bad font.  Let me see which font is being used on my system...

tkremind: font actual TkDefaultFont
-family {DejaVu Sans} -size 10 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0

So it's apparently DeJaVu Sans.

You can see which font your tkremind is using with Tk's excellent "rmt" app.
On my Debian system, I ran:

    wish /usr/share/doc/tk8.6-doc/demos/rmt

Then in the File menu, I selected the tkremind application and typed:

    font actual TkDefaultFont
