So what? Of the fonts I use, none has both Arabic and Chinese glyphs, so
I change 'guifont' (manually) depending on whether I'm editing the
Arabic text in the page, or the Chinese.

Well, the only solution I know for that requirement is: Move to Linux
and use GTK2.
There's one obscure sentence under ":help 'guifont'" saying that you can
have several comma-separated values in that option, but it seems to
imply that the first of them which is installed will be used globally,
not that the leftmost of them which has a glyph for any given character
will be used for that character. I may have misunderstood, but if the
selection is for each character separately you MUST select fonts which
all have the exact same height, the exact same width, and the baseline
at the exact same distance above the bottom of the character cell (in
all three cases with pixel accuracy).
