Actually, I am referring to fonts that has a OS/2 ulCodePageRange1 and
ulCodePageRange2 field set to zero. That is, OpenType fonts that are marked
as supporting various Unicode sub-ranges, but no code pages at all. (I
should have use the term "no-code-page fonts").

Windows defaults to a more appropriate font if you select one that can not
show a particular language (well, there is much more to it than that, but
you get the idea). For example, Latha does not contain Latin characters.
Still, you can use it to write English text.
