One caveat with the "set-fontset-font" approach is that the given font is used unconditionally for all characters in the 'symbol ranges; if the font doesn't contain glyphs for a certain symbol character, Emacs will display the empty box character rather than look for an alternative font containing that character.

So this is something of a workaround, rather than a definitive solution.
