The default fontset already defines specific blocks to be handled by
these fonts, see fontset.el. What problems, specifically, do you have
with the default setup and the current emacs-25 branch?

In general: find the characters you want to change and augment the
default fontset to use the font you want for them.
But let's first see the specific problems you have with the Emacs 25
defaults. This issue got some attention a few months ago, so I'm
surprised to hear there are still problems in that area.

Which, if any, of those give you trouble with the default fontset?
