Well, potentially, you only need one font if it covers all the 
encodings/character sets/code pages/whatever needed. And I didn't say that 
you only use one font, but that you don't *need* more than one font, (ie you 
don't need different fonts for Hebrew and Aramaic if your Unicode font covers 
both) If you want to use different fonts for various encodings, then yeah 
that's fine. For example, I use Lucida Sans Unicode for everything but Hebrew 
in BibleTime, and I use some SIL fonts for Hebrew.
