bug#11450: 24.1.50; NS regression: fallback font used even when glyph available in primary font

[Steve Purcell]

Starting a few months ago, I've observed a regression in Emacs HEAD
relative to Emacs 23.3.1.

Steps to reproduce:
===============

* Open Emacs HEAD on OS X
* In *scratch*, evaluate:
  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :foundry "apple" :family "Menlo" :height 120)
* Then use "M-x ucs-insert" to insert the "EMPTY SET" char (∅)
* Use "M-x describe-char" to inspect the properties of the displayed character

Expected results:
==============

This char is available in the Menlo font, so the expected results are as
for Emacs 23.3:

        character: ∅ (8709, #o21005, #x2205)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0x2205
           syntax: .    which means: punctuation
         category: .:Base, j:Japanese
      buffer code: #xE2 #x88 #x85
        file code: #xE2 #x88 #x85 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    nil:-apple-Menlo-medium-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x7B4)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: EMPTY SET
  general-category: Sm (Symbol, Math)


Actual results:
===========

Instead, Emacs HEAD now displays the character from a fallback font, 
STIXGeneral:

             position: 275 of 275 (100%), column: 0
            character: ∅ (displayed as ∅) (codepoint 8709, #o21005, #x2205)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x2205
               syntax: .        which means: punctuation
             category: .:Base, j:Japanese
          buffer code: #xE2 #x88 #x85
            file code: #xE2 #x88 #x85 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
              display: by this font (glyph code)
    nil:-apple-STIXGeneral-medium-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1 
(#x41C)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: EMPTY SET
  general-category: Sm (Symbol, Math)
  decomposition: (8709) ('∅')
