21.5.27/8-xft set-default-font/set-face-font difference and symbols??

Dear all, in the latest version of 21.5.27, and 21.5.28 compiled with under opensuse 10.2 (gcc4.1) with-xft=all, I noticed the following inconvenience: font changes using (set-deault-font '"Tahoma") ; my favorite screen font result in an immediate change of the default face and all other faces. utilizing (set-face-font 'default '"Tahoma") behaves different, no changes in the (selected-frame) but in all other locales, e.g. other open frames showing the same buffers. in an elder version of 21.527-xft I was also able to compose a font with the specification (set-default-font '("Tahoma" "StarSymbol")) which filled in missing characters of Tahoma with instances of Starsymbol when I used x-symbol for instance. However now these characters do not appear anymore, try e.g. \forall together with the attached file and (require 'x-symbol-startup). Is it possible to achieve the previous state by using some sort of specifier-tags for symbols? How would that look like???
