It would be very nice, but that seems to be almost impossible in
European-only mixing. One who has to mix Latin, Cyrillic (with *all*
diacritics and language-dependent features) and full polytonic Greek --
will eventually realise that just a couple of fonts (including the most
expensive ones!) can do all three things at the same time, *completely*
and flawlessly.
