I find it mildly annoying that Outlook Express picks a font on the basis of the encoding chosen for a given message. On this list and the IDN list, a message encoded as JIS or EUC-KR or BIG5 will likely be displayed in a different font from the one used to display Latin-1 or UTF-8 messages. I'd prefer to see all plain-text messages in the same font, regardless of encoding or language.
I guess that means I'd prefer to see the same font (a Unicode font) for all text in your product.
Of course, "in a cruel world" as Signor Cimarosti would put it, we know that typographical needs and expectations are not the same worldwide, so it's not really possible to develop "a Unicode font" that will satisfy everyone.
