Please tell the exact spec of the font with Chinese double-width
quotes Emacs selected on that system (like you show above for the
Liberation Serif font).  Also, please send (as an attachment) the
entire contents of the *Help* buffer produced by "M-x describe-fontset
RET RET" on that system.  I'd like to see what can be done to avoid
that, even if Symbola is not installed.

Thanks.
