Yes, that should be enough, but then I was lazy to find the right
encoding, so I preferred FontSets whose functions are locale-aware.
Also, if I'm not fooled by its man page, XCreateFontSet() exhibits a
comprehensive fallback behaviour in selection process, so the
approximation code in FindFont() may not be necessary after all.
Please see my patch for details.
