It is a variant of the Lucida font family and supports Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Hebrew scripts, as well as all the letters used in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
A nearly identical font called Lucida Grande ships as the default system font on Mac OS X, and in addition to the above, also supports Arabic and Thai scripts.

 Workaround for the "aggressive use of Lucida" IE5 Hebrew Support Bug
Although the details are somewhat murky still, through a Microsoft contact I've been advised of an apparently good workaround: set your Latin-based font to Tahoma.
By the way, according to Microsoft, there are acknowledged bugs with Lucida regarding Hebrew nikudes placement, but they are never going to be fixed because there is software that depends on the bugs.
If anyone else has been plagued by this problem, and finds this a useful workaround, I'd be pleased to know about it.

 [Stoa Consortium] Unicode Polytonic Greek for the World Wide Web (UPGW3)
Unicode is a standard for font encodings, not a type of font.
A "Unicode" font can be any of a number of types: TrueType, OpenType, Type 1, PostScript, and BDF just to name five (these type names refer to the technologies used to control the shape and arrangement of the fonts, rather than their encoding).
The Unicode standard is divided up into ranges or blocks, each range supporting a script/writing system or set of diacriticals or symbols.

 TrueType and Unicode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Unicode characters are consistently 16 bits wide, regardless of language, so no escape sequence or control code is required to specify any character in any language.
Unicode character encoding treats symbols, alphabetic characters, and ideographic characters identically, so that they can be used simultaneously and with equal facility.
Fonts of characters not in Unicode should use characters from F000 In this terminology, characters are semantic entities that mean exactly the same regardless of the font style, whereas glyphs are stylistic things, the actual images that are printed.

 MacEdition CSS Tester Page: iCab for OS X and Lucida Sans
For reasons that are not entirely clear, iCab 2.8.x on OS X treats the Lucida Sans font family as whatever your default sans serif font is, despite the Lucida Sans font actually being installed on the computer (eg because Office X is installed).
Lucida Sans before both Lucida Grande and Lucida Sans Unicode, quoted with "double quote" not 'single quotes'.
Lucida Sans before Lucida Grande; Arial doesn't appear anywhere, but it still looks like it in iCab if Arial is your default sans-serif (which it is in the standard settings).

 Importance of Unicode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Unicode is a standard for representing a great number of letters, symbols, and ideographic characters with unique codes, independently of what fonts are used to display them.
Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language is. Thus, now there is a system that rpovides adequate help in recognizing new characters and it is not going to have any negative effects to the memory of the computer.
The Consortium's technical activities are conducted by the Unicode Technical Committee, which is responsible for the creation, maintenance, and quality of the Unicode Standard.

 August 22, 2001: Re: "Lucida Sans Unicode," etc. (WAS unicode)
You need to select a Unicode font that includes the code ranges you actually use and that omits the code ranges you never use.
The fact that Unicode doe NOT include every possible glyph one could want is not a problem for most uses.
These Unicode extensions --- while not officially approved by the Unicode Consortium --- are used by almost everyone in Asian Studies (whether in North America, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, or Korea, etc.).

Unicode (as of version 3.2, early 2002) differentiates between this koppa (epigraphical) and the numerical koppa; this does not affect the TLG data bank, since the Beta Code distinction between the two koppas is no longer observed.

Lucida Sans Unicode is recommended as it is quite a compact font.
Arial Unicode supports many languages as well as the symbols needed here, so it is rather large (23MB when installed) and may slow down your system.

 Unicode Polytonic Greek for the Web (version 0.9.1)
Netscape and the Mozilla open source community are currently working on adding Unicode support to the Mozilla and Netscape 6.x browsers for Macintosh OS X. In OS X, Mozilla has flawed Unicode support (for instance, the pi is rendered wrongly in many fonts).
Because Unicode support isn't completely integrated into Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition, there are a number of limitations, which will be discussed in the Windows 95 platform section.
Note that Web browsers usually can detect whether a page is encoded in Unicode by something called a META tag; if the web designer included a META tag indicating the UTF-8 encoding (the most popular of the Unicode encodings for use on web pages), from here on Netscape should automatically select Unicode when it's needed.

The core fonts (Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New) for Windows platforms were converted to Unicode even before Microsoft changed to the 16-bit WGL4 character set (652 characters) in place of the 8-bit ANSI character set (256 characters), and the numbers of characters in these fonts has continued to increase.

 Hyphen - Unipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In Unicode, this same character is encoded as U+002D so that Unicode remains compatible with ASCII.
When flowing text, it is sometimes preferable to break a word in half so that it continues on another line rather than moving the entire word to the next line.
Therefore Unicode encodes a soft hyphen character, U+00AD: when flowing text, a system may consider the soft hyphen to be a point at which a word may be broken, and display a hyphen at the end of the broken line; otherwise, the hyphen is not displayed.
