Document 'use-default-font-for-symbols' more
"why does my set-fontset-font call not work for symbols" is a common question, and it's because 'use-default-font-for-symbols' is not discoverable enough. * doc/emacs/mule.texi (Modifying Fontsets): Mention it here. * doc/lispref/display.texi (Fontsets): And here. * src/fontset.c (Fset_fontset_font): And most importantly here.
