I use the unicode-fonts[1] package by Roland Walker, but am also
interested in a more lightweight alternative. This one adds a
considerable delay to Emacs startup, in my configuration at least.

unicode-fonts allows to specify the preferred font by Unicode block,
in a relatively friendly Customize UI. This is not exactly what you
want but way less tedious than specifying ranges.
