As far as I know, mapnik picks a Font on a Glyph-by-Glyph basis, so you
can add as many fonts as you want with unifont being the last one.
Mapnik will then test all specified fonts in the order you supplied for
the required glyph and use the first one it finds.

If none of your fonts does contain the requested glyph, it'll fall back
to unifont, which has it all (but is far from being nice).
