Title:
  Characters aren’t displayed when not included in stadard font

Status in Gwibber:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On my desktop I use the font Bitstream Charter, which doesn't have
  such a brilliant unicode range. Everytime I get a Tweet containig
  symbols which aren’t included in Bitstream Charter, they don’t show up
  in gwibber (in the notification message they *are* displayed).

  The message in the example screenshot actually is: 𝔍 ♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔨𝔱𝔲𝔯 (I love
  Fraktur), but only the heart is shown. I’m definitely sure to have
  fonts with the missing characters installed (Gnu Free Font,
  Liberation, DejaVu).

  Could you please define some alternative fonts instead of only using
  the standard desktop? Maybe this works like in CSS: "Desktop-Font",
  DejaVuSans, sans-serif;
