The issue I'm pointing at is that we don't need "satisfactorily", we need "good enough".
There are a number of fonts that have 30k+ glyphs. That's good enough for a lot of org-mode users.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_font
What we need is 1 or 2 well-documented settings where we specify:
1) the back end
2) the font
It can be org proprieties, or extra elisp code, it doesn't matter. But we need to have good enough PDF export out of the box. We're in the 21st century. People expect (I know, free software, etc. but I'm not talking about that) proper font support for PDF, and well-documented workaround solutions.
I don't mind going through the org→ODF→PDF route, but it's a waste of time. Still, it works *well enough* so it's actually the only viable option.
