Not really.  All you would need is one font which all the characters in it.
The problem is that few fonts come with characters for many different
languages (also it is possible), because seldom a person needs characters of
more than one language (or language family, like all using the Latin
alphabet) in a font and having many different languages, i.e. Japanese and
Chinese in there would create a very huge font file.

The trick why it works in your operating system / word processor is that
they always will attempt to pick a font that does have characters for that
language.  This is not a choice POV-Ray can make :-(
