It won't work with CJK or any encoding other than Latin ( FIXME ).
With Arialuni, we can display almost every languages with ONE font.

In the EULA of Ms Office 2007 Japanese version [1], the license about
fonts are stated:
( I don't have the English version of it, but you can translate, use
excite.co.jp for example )

	c.	フォント
コンポーネント。本ソフトウェア作動中、コンテンツの表示および印刷に、本ソフトウェアのフォントを使用することができます。ただし、用途は以下に限定されます。
		・
フォントの埋込みに関する制限に基づいて許可されたコンテンツの埋込みフォント
		・
コンテンツを印刷するプリンタまたはそれを支援する他の出力デバイスへの一時的ダウンロード


i.e., we can use the Arialuni.ttf under a very hard condition * only
WHEN MS Office IS RUNNING*

I am not sure about the licenses of fonts in other versions of MS
Office, but with the license above, there would be no way to pull it
off.
