Comment:

 You've gotten it exactly right; GTK+ has no idea which fonts to use unless
 it is told.  The MS-Windows GTK+ theme will use the default Windows font,
 but there is no capability to use Windows' fallback mechanism when there
 are missing glyphs.

 The way to fix this is to edit the `pango.aliases` file and to include the
 necessary fonts in the alias lists there.

  Instead of editing the global pango.aliases file which will be replaced
  when the GTK+ Runtime is upgraded, you should copy it to your home
  directory and edit it there:
  * `%USERPROFILE%.pango.aliases`
  '''NOTE the leading '.' as it is necessary'''; Windows Explorer will not
  let you create a file with that name - you'll need to rename it from a
 cmd
  prompt or through a text editor.

 Let me know which font(s) you need to add and I'll include them in the
 distributed pango.aliases file.
