Xterm likely requires a single font with all of the glyphs you require.
I use rxvt-unicode, which accepts a list of fonts so as to provide fallbacks.

[Not math, not quite fun, but arguably useful for this list.] For xterm the following font works perfectly: xterm -fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1' The binary for rxvt-unicode is 'urxvt', that took me a few seconds to find out. The urxvt man page mentions mlterm which appears to work as well (unicode wise, that is). ctrl-right-mouse gives a neat GUI menu to let one manipulate about everything one might want to adjust. Is there any (convenient, automated) way to list the fonts that 'work'? (I could loop over the output of xlsfonts and inspect, but there are way to many fonts to check). The following is a very useful resource: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html
