I don't see much changes in font selection algorithm.
Actually I have a problem, as I wrote ``terminus`` font missed some glyphs and
I expect that:
(set-fontset-font nil nil "-misc-fixed-*-*-*--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
was as fallback. But it has no effect. Fix with range resolve issue:
;; MODIFIER LETTER is not present in terminus, this includes ˌːˈ characters.
(set-fontset-font nil '(#x02C0 . #x02FF) "-misc-fixed-*-*-*--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
Do I need file bug or I am wrong with (set-fontset-font nil nil ...)?
