The short answer is no. While a document may contain unicode characters, 
they still need to be displayed which requires a font or localization 
file. Normally people who can read a language have the files installed. 
If you don't have a font for a particular language, it won't display 
correctly.

Windows will use a system font for text editors and may replace fonts 
for word processors, etc. with one that has similar metrics. However it 
won't install a character set for a language it doesn't have.
