I installed a fix.  Please try again.

The above should work, but I'm now thinking about
introducing non-default-font-script-list:

non-default-font-script-list is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 
(arabic syriac thaana devanagari before gurmukhi gurmukhi oriya tamil telugu 
kannada malayalam sinhala thai lao tibetan myanmar hangul khmer mongolian kana 
han ideographic-description cjk-misc hangul cham tai-viet)

Documentation:
List of scripts not to display by the default font.
Usually, the font specified for ASCII characters is also used
to display a non-ASCII character if the font supports that character.
But, if a character belongs to one of these scripts, a font for it is
determined by looking up the current fontset and the default fontset.

But, I have not yet decided the detail of the
implementation.   Could you please wait for a while?
