All of the above is true, but if it's any help, there do exist a couple of pan-Unicode fonts. Arial Unicode is one; I think it may come with Windows 2000 and XP. I believe it offers complete Unicode 2.1 coverage. Bitstream's Cyberbit is another. I don't think Bitstream makes it freely available any more, however. It's probably Unicode 2.0 or 2.1 coverage. Of course, as of Unicode 3.1 it is impossible for any single font to cover all of Unicode, since that would involve more glyphs than any currnet font formats can handle.
