I think I've found this in the Emacs Wiki (http://www.emacswiki.org):

	If you are content with Emacs' default fonts and just want to change the font for a particular character set; you can use the predefined fontset "fontset-standard" and change only that character set from Lisp:
	
	    ;; Use the predefined fontset "fontset-standard"
	    (set-face-font 'default "fontset-standard")
	
	    ;; In "fontset-standard" use "misc fixed" for the charset
	    ;; `mule-unicode-0100-24ff'
	    (set-fontset-font "fontset-standard"
	                      'mule-unicode-0100-24ff
	                      "-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")
	
	You can have even more fine-grained control and make such changes only for a range of characters within an Emacs charset. The following sets characters from the Unicode code charts "Greek and Coptic" and "Greek extended" to `palatino linotype':
	
	    ;; "Greek extended"  U+1F00 - U+1FEF
	    (set-fontset-font "fontset-standard"
	                      (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x1f00)
	                            (decode-char 'ucs #x1fef))
	                      "-*-palatino linotype-*-*-r-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")
	
	    ;; "Greek and Coptic"  U+0374 - U+03FB
	    (set-fontset-font "fontset-standard"
	                      (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x0374)
	                            (decode-char 'ucs #x03fb))
	                      "-*-palatino linotype-*-*-r-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")

I think you understand the code and can adapt it to your problem. Otherwise browse through the Emacs Wiki (or the built-in documentation).
