People use special fonts all the time. They are more efficient to obtain a
special look and feel. In fact some UTF-8 pages my want to use special
fonts when they display characters that a user is not likely to have fonts
installed. For example a travel site may want to display the native names
of sights. It may use a script that the user does not have a font to cover.
Even if the user does not read the language they may be able to recognize
the name.
>From one of my sites:
<!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: Carl W. Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on

@font-face {
font-family: Papyrus;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(PAPYRUS3.eot);
}
-->
I think that if you have a Klingon web site that uses UTF-8 and the PUA with
your own font is very Unicode savvy.
