    Edward,
            thanks for the response. Is it possible to integrate glyph for
    bold and italic in arialuni.ttf or can I have one font which support all
    the languages and also have related glyph for bold and italic.

    Thanks
    Pankaj

    To my knowledge, MS Arial Unicode does not contain glyphs for bold and
    italic styles. For Latin and the other blocks of Unicode covered in the
    standard Arial font, there are bold and italic versions:

    arial.ttf - Standard arial
    arialbd.ttf - bold
    arialbi.ttf - bold italic
    ariali.ttf - italic
    arialuni.ttf - Arial unicode, which only has a normal face.
