	Why would that be possible? Many truetype fonts only supply glyphs for
single-byte encodings (ISO-Latin-1, for example -- pop up the Windows
character map utility and see what some of the font files contain.

	Heck -- on my current machine, the True Type fonts are all old
third-party items. All the standard fonts are now Open Type.

	The only font that appears to have "full" Unicode is "Arial MS Unicode"
-- regular Arial family looks to be Latin-1, Cyrillic and/or Greek, Hebrew,
various Arabic squiggles (I don't know how many variations of similar
squiggles count as separate languages).
