"Fontsets" together with "Font X".  But I now realize I didn't read it
carefully.

It seems to work, thanks.  Wouldn't it be useful to at least be able
to customize the fontset?  Requiring use of X resources to get Unicode
to show up correctly is not user friendly.  I guess these problems
goes away when Emacs stops chosing fonts with empty characters, so
perhaps users simply will have to wait for 22.
