Right... That's a limitation of current font formats that needs to be resolved before the latest version of Unicode can be fully supported by any one single font. But you can still support _most_ of it with one font and there are a few fonts that do... I should not have used any superlatives (ever! ;o) ) in my first message... :-P So to support all of the current version of Unicode, a given renderer currently _needs_ to support some kind of font switching, ideally based on unicode block not on module if it has hope of allowing multi-lingual modules.
