Please also note that Symbola is a variable-pitch font. It might not
bother you, but others might very well be bothered (and were bothered
during the Emacs 25 development), which is why we switched to use the
default font (which is always monospaced) in the default
configuration.

Then please file a feature request bug report for this aspect to be
customizable. We could add a user option to disable the automatic use
of the default font for symbols and punctuation.
