In Mac OS X a variant of GNU Emacs runs that asks the system's fonts service for a font to display a particular glyph. This fonts service is quite clever... It works the same on linux with fontconfig, and still I am unable to configure it properly or find related documentation. Maybe it's because I want something kind of weird (a smaller fallback font). I'm not even sure that's possible in fontcofig. Francesco.
