By Unicode fonts, what exactly do you mean? Most TrueType fonts use a
Unicode encoding, and there are a decent number of fonts that contain a
meaningful subset of Unicode - a number of fonts that approach MES-1 or
MES-2, many fonts that cover legacy Asian character sets. There's no
font that covers all of Unicode.

While a Fraktur font that covered many of Unicode's scripts would be an
interesting typographic challange, it's not a style that's very readable
for most users of most scripts.
