Here's my font related configuration

(set-language-environment "chinese-gb18030")
(set-frame-font "Monaco-10")
(set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
          'han '("Microsoft Yahei"."unicode-bmp"))
(set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
          'symbol '("Microsoft Yahei"."unicode-bmp"))
(set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
          'cjk-misc '("Microsoft Yahei"."unicode-bmp"))
(set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
          'bopomofo '("Microsoft Yahei"."unicode-bmp"))
