I guess you want to make sure your audience can read your website properly.
It is not a good practice to force user to install or config a lot before he can use your app/site. Rather than that, you should plan and design it well.
You may find great solution in Google Web Font:
https://developers.google.com/webfonts/
Example:
*note: you can set the priority in CSS, so users can use existing fonts in their computer, for example in CSS:
Verdana, “Microsoft JhengHei”, “微軟正黑體”, “Microsoft YaHei”, “微软雅黑”, Tangerine, sans-serif, serif
Browser will download the font (quietly), only if need.
However, I would doubt that user will understand the contents you provided, if s/he doesn’t install the language pack or fonts. Rather, I would monitor the traffic source (e.g. Google Analytics) and build for specify market segment.
Please, give up any Active-X and similar stuff, and stick with modern web technology. Unicode, web fonts, CSS are your friends.
