Please follow what described in the > "Difining Fontsets" node of Emacs info. It seems to work, thanks. Wouldn't it be useful to at least be able to customize the fontset?

I guess these problems goes away when Emacs stops chosing fonts with empty characters, so perhaps users simply will have to wait for 22.
