What do you consider ‘non-supported’? Languages whose scripts that cannot be rendered with any of the built-in fonts? There are not too many of those, but for the most part I would say the answer is ‘yes’.
At a minimum the font has to have glyphs for the characters needed to represent the language in question.
Beyond that, the Kindle’s rendering engine has to know how to properly render complex-script, R to L, vertical, etc. But I think it does (Indic, Arabic, Chinese/Japanese, and I would think Hebrew). Thai, Burmese etc maybe. Korean should be.
Someone should try to see if Klingon (KLI plqD) can be supported using a custom font. I suspect it is.
