Using something like (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'unicode "DejaVu Sans Mono-10") works, but then *every* unicode symbol is displayed using DejaVu. I couldn't find a way to configure the fallback font only (without even caring about unicode, I just want the missing symbols to be displayed with a font that I choose). This message seems to ask the same question: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2011-03/msg00154.html , but there was no answer, so I am asking again. Francesco.
