Whereas I find that if you need support outside of Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, Charis SIL 7 is not a great choice. Even the Hellenic (Greek or Coptic) block shows 15 of 135 glyphs supported. Looking at diacritical marks (regular and extended) shows 11 of 143 supported. Over all of a potential 65,535 glyphs, Charis Sil 7 supports 3953 which is an improvement of the 3856 in Charis SIL 6.2.

Compare this to Code2000 which offers 63153 glyphs or Microsoft Arial Unicode MS which offers 50,376 glyphs. Admittedly this comes at the cost of 11MB and 22MB file sizes and no italic/bold/bold-italic variants.
