Not really.

A positive consequence of unicode is certainly to
be found in the font technology.
For plenty of reasons, fonts are becoming specialized
and luckily these specialization features are embeded in
the fonts.

The fonts may also satisfy a standard: pan-european,
MES-N, ...

To my knowledge, the most complete font:

with.)
