Huh? Let me rephrase. It is false that: I need a single font for all characters in a string in order to display the string.
(Systems can use heirarchical fonts; programs, like IE, can use backup fonts -- if a character is not in a font, the switch. In either case, to get a string displayed all I need is the set of fonts, and the right mechanism in the system or application.)
