Not necessarily. FOP 0.95 does not yet support font-selection, so you
still have to take care that Arial Unicode always appears everywhere
as the first specified font-family.
If you have something like:
<fo:block font-family="Helvetica,Arial Unicode,GungSeo">
and the block contains Chinese text, the Helvetica font will be used,
and you will end up with the missing-glyph character '#' all over the
place, even if the 'Arial Unicode' and 'GungSeo' fonts have been
properly configured.

FOP Trunk does look at all the specified font-families, so FOP will
try all fonts for each word. It then picks the first font-family that
can display the most characters.
(see behavior described at:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#selection)
So, with FOP Trunk you should be able to happily mix English with
Chinese without really having to do anything special (apart from
making sure that the fonts are properly registered; see Chris' earlier
suggestions)
