In XXE v3.8, "font-family: 'Charis SIL';" works fine but "font-family: 'Charis SIL', 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif;" still picks in priority first found logical font (in the above example, it picks sans-serif). We noticed that problem and fixed it in XXE v4.1 (to be released). Therefore, as of XXE v4.1, "font-family: 'Charis SIL', 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif;" should work as expected.
