I don't know whether the following page will answer your question or not:

http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/unicode/#fonts

Note: This page does not describe the set up of fontconfig and xft.

In Edit|Preferences|Appearance|Fonts, Mozilla provides options for specifying fonts
for various script encodings, so you should be able to fine tune exactly which fonts
get used.  There is also a checkbox to "Allow documents to use other fonts" which I
assume means that if the right glyph isn't found in the specified Unicode font, a 
glyph will get picked from whatever remaining installed font has that glyph.  I see
this happen when I view Chinese pages with unusual characters in them.
