For anyone that has developed a customer-facing Java Swing application that supports multiple languages, which font(s) did you find best displayed the characters for all languages?

Inserting Unicode characters To insert a Unicode character, type the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then press X.
Unicode defines which characters exist; any given character will have a default glyph in the font—and perhaps more. For example, a capital A, swash capital A, and small cap A would be three different glyphs, but all options for the same character of “capital A”.
See wikipedia on unicode. It has a nice list and a comparison chart of unicode fonts. It seems GNU Unifont support most of the languages.

You should also read Loading Font Configuration Files on font configuration with Java 6. This file allows you to specify which font can be used to represent glyphs from a specific locale. I had to use and configure it once, and it really helped me.
