Comment (by elb):

 The reply by khc gets straight to the point -- fontconfig allows you to
 select a set of fonts to be used for Gtk+ rendering, and the appropriate
 set of fonts should make things prettier.

 The basic tactic you'll want to use is to put a general-purpose font first
 in your list, and follow it with fonts for particular character sets.  For
 example, I use:

 {{{
         <alias>
                 <family>sans-serif</family>
                 <prefer>
                         <family>Arial</family>
                         <family>Kochi Gothic</family>
                         <family>Baekmuk Gulim</family>
                         <family>Raghu8</family>
                         <family>TabAvarangal2</family>
                         <family>Pothana2000</family>
                         <family>Code2001</family>
                         <family>Bitstream Cyberbit</family>
                 </prefer>
         </alias>
 }}}

 (I really only care about the first two, the remainder just clean up
 glyphs for testing, more or less.)
