In the new days, too.  Full Unicode fonts invariably involve typographical
compromises: they are not ideal for any of the scripts they present,
as a rule, because they have to be compatible with the entire range of
scripts.  So in a fully Unicode world, we can expect applications to
handle mixed fonts composed of subfonts.
