Many of the standard Windows fonts, such as Arial, Tahoma and Palatino
Linotype, have true italic, bold and bold italic variants, and cover a
fairly large number of Unicode ranges. For example, Arial covers Latin,
Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic, and Tahoma covers all these as well as
Thai.

Could you please mention a Unicode font that comes in not only regular, but
also bold, italic and bold italic styles? I already know of one: Times New
Roman. Unfortunately, for most other "Unicode fonts" I've seen the word
processor has to produce bold and italic looks by for instance leaning the
font in the case of the italic style... I'm looking for a font that
preferably consists of four different files for the four different styles.
Do you know of any?
