The original question was about Unicode support, not about specific rendering technology.
Thunderbird supports Unicode text encoding. So far as my tests indicate, Thunderbird on
Windows uses Uniscribe for text layout, so if you have the appropriate version of
Uniscribe in the program directory and the appropriate OpenType fonts installed, you
should be able to enjoy exactly the same text rendering in Thunderbird as in Word.
