Humm... I don't think I've emerged anything special and my gucharmap shows most of the characters just fine (except for the damned IPA-class).I tried that in the first place. Nor unicode neither efont-unicode helped. I also tried some others, but to no avail. (That's why I'm asking here)
Let's see, here's the bloated use of mine:

Assumably truetype, type1, unicode is only interesting part here...
You might want to use gfontview or something to check that the fonts are in the same path as defined in font configurations and that they do actually contain the glyphs you are looking for.
...Although the problem I had with the fonts a bit earlier was something similar, the symbols were being replaced by wrong ones even if I had the right fonts installed, I don't know if it influences the missing font replacement as well, but there is something odd in that functionality (or more probably, my setup).
