I couldn't reproduce (even after installing ETL fonts from
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/stories/resources.html).  If you
tried without -Q option, could you try again with it?  Also, could you
show the result of (describe-font-set "fontset-mac_roman_9") ?

No, no.  I didn't recommend that.  What I wanted to say is:

 - The create-fontset-from-fontset-spec example introduces wrong
   glyph.
 - There is an easier way to do without messing up
   create-fontset-from-fontset-spec entries *if you don't care about
   wrong glyph*.

I suppose no characters in mule-unicode-2500-33ff is accessible from
QuickDraw Text API that Carbon Emacs is currently using for drawing
text, at least when using with bundled fonts.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a full fontset definition".
Anyway, the font setting in my ~/.emacs is as follows.

(when (eq window-system 'mac)
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
               `(font . ,(create-fontset-from-mac-roman-font "-apple-lucida 
sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman")))
  (setq face-font-rescale-alist '(("^-apple-.*-jisx02" . 1.2)))
  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'japanese-jisx0208
                    '("ヒラギノ角ゴ*" . "jisx0208.*"))
  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'katakana-jisx0201
                    '("ヒラギノ角ゴ*" . "jisx0201.*")))
