An Open Source alternative would be
Charis SIL, which is used in many commercial ePubs and covers all Unicode characters required for Pinyin
and French though not for Chinese. IMHO, it'd better to apply a different style to Latin text anyway.
@fxp33:After you've installed Charis SIL, you can embed it automatically with
Calibre or manually with
Sigil.
(BTW, Kindles and Kindle apps support these characters out of the box, because they're contained in the Code2000 Unicode fallback font.)
