Emacs's font selection meachanism doesn't work by giving it a full
X font name.  This is because different fonts can be used for different
chars (in the same buffer).
So instead, you should only specify the font family, and size, while the
charset is automatically selected by Emacs (which will use the iso10646-1
font for the Unicode chars, ...).

Better not.
