I guess that in LuaTeX you can "compose your own font" on the fly. So you can say "please take this region from Arial, another region from some Greek fonts, and yet another from Chineese, perhaps some more characters from somewhere else ... And then you can use a single font for everything. (Don't ask me how this can be done, though.)
