Is it possible? For example, I want Tahoma to be used for all languages for all OS. Does Tahoma support this?

A problem I have found is that on Simplified Chinese Windows, the fixed pitch Simsun font is used as the GUI default font so some half-width Latin text might have some display problems. There is also a font on the Simplified Chinese system"called" Simsun Proportional, which would seem to be the better GUI font to use, but in fact, despite the name difference, it does not contain any half-width proportional characters. It appears to be exactly the same as Simsun fixed. I hope that Microsoft will fix this problem so that non-localized applications will still display Latin text correctly on a Simplified Chinese system.

The software is developed using Visual Studio 6 and has a common source code base for all supported Win OS. The GUI is to be internationalized. The minimum language support of the GUI software are Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, UK Eng. We are using RC-Win Trans 7 as the localization tool. The tool by default sets Tahoma as the Font. What I wanted to know (confirm) is that will Tahoma work for all languages (including East-Asian languages)? If not where can I find the information as to what Font goes with what Language (and OS if dependent)?
