Could be it's this one:
!! BEGIN intlfonts setup
!! By default, use 16 dots fonts
Emacs.Font: fontset-16
!! For small screen users (eg. 640x480 or 800x600)
Emacs.Fontset-0: -etl-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-14
!! For meidum screen users (eg. 1024x780)
Emacs.Fontset-1: -etl-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-16
!! For meidum screen users (eg. 1024x780) suitable for Thai characters
Emacs.Fontset-2: -etl-*-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-18
!! For large screen users (eg. 1280x1024 or larger)
Emacs.Fontset-3: -etl-*-medium-r-normal-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-24
!! END intlfonts setup
More entries are possible, look at the X Resources node in GNU
Emacs's info node.

You *might* get better rendering when using GNU Emacs 23.0.60, the
unicode-2 branch from CVS, with libotf. Then GNU Emacs will have
knowledge about ligatures and such from the OpenType font. Then it's
still a second issue whether this knowledge is applied ... Again
emacs-devel might explain more and better!
