Since my emacs already knows about all fontsets I need I »solved« it
with utmost cruelty (though I can assure that no harm to animals or any
other living creature is done):
I renamed unicode-fonts.el, then stripped off everything from the new
file that will search for any other fontset than `Symbola'.
It works fine and does not perceptibly increase startup time.
