The CSS model doesn't have a concept of a font set, and, in practice, for information bearing pages, there is a high probability that, even just based on the characters used, there will either not be a solution, or the solution will be suboptimal (e.g. one of the Chinese fonts will allow mixing Chinese and Roman characters, but the Roman characters will be monospaced and ugly). Currently IE seems to use the first font found of those in the current font-family list and the font resolution code in the open source browsers tries to use various heuristics to find an optimal solution.
