Thanks, but why do you consider that a problem?  You are trying to use
arbitrary fonts available on your system, and Emacs sometimes finds
them inappropriate for its purposes, or incapable of displaying some
characters.  That's completely normal.  Not every font is good enough
for Emacs.

Also, please try this in a newer Emacs.  v26 is very old and no longer
developed; Emacs 28 is in pretest.
