Fonts with different languages in pdf visualforce page

Hi,

 

I'm looking to change a visualforce page that we render as a pdf to display in a different font.  The page displays multiple languages with different characters - Japanese, Chinese aswell as English.   So far I have only been able to get the page to render correctly by using Arial Unicode MS (see code below).  We have a need to use Tahoma instead but the page won't display the non english characters.  Any suggestions?  Many Thanks.

 

<apex:page renderAs="pdf" standardController="Enrollment__c" showHeader="false" pageStyle="all">
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="print">


body{    
    font-family: Arial Unicode MS;
        }

@page{
    @bottom-center {                               
    }
    @bottom-left {                  
    content: element(footer);      
    }
    size: A4 portrait;
    margin-top:.0cm;
    margin-left:0cm;
    margin-right:0cm;
    margin-bottom:2.1cm;
          
}

Thanks for the feedback.  I might have to split this into 2 different pages then.  If I did want to use Tahoma with just standard characters how would I add this into the code?  I've tried font-family = Tahoma but all I can see is Times New Roman.  Thanks again.
