What characters specifically are you missing? In general, the answer is
"install more fonts". Tk is pretty smart in finding the right font,
provided an appropriate font is available. Do xlsfonts(1) to see whether
you have a good number of fonts installed. On my system, I get

martin at mira:~/work/py2.4/Lib$ xlsfonts|wc
    8317   10959  495020

and I'm confident that Tk would display any character I could ever
encounter.
