Emacs doesn't open fonts it considers for a given character, to avoid
a long delay when many fonts are tried (opening a font is expensive).
Without opening a font, it is impossible to know with 100% certainty
whether a font that declares coverage of some range of characters
indeed includes a glyph for each character in that range.

Your Emacs has the problem reported by the OP solved, so the fonts you
use not necessarily will solve his problem with Emacs 24.4.
