A good reason for such behavior is that some languages look best in various different fonts.
I havent seen a single monolithic opentype font yet supporting bold, italic, bold italic, and
alternative hanzi glyphs for various languages. (if such would even be supported properly,
im not sure. I'd like to see it) Until then, were stuck with a mishmash of various fonts loosely
organized around languages.
