I like PT Serif and PT Sans because they have a wide coverage in Latin, and Cyrillic, including many minority languages. These fonts also have complimentary narrow and caption faces that are handy for proper typesetting, and a pretty well done kerning table, which really helps for extended reading and pushing the font as small as possible.
The Font with the best unicode coverage in Latin that I like the best is EBGaramond. (mated with Ysabeau for Sans.) But this is a tall font, and for screens that's not the most accepted way to view. (Phone screens today can (almost always) handle it, but the low res has created an expectation of short and fat letters, not tall letters.) Another very good unicode coverage font for latin text is Garava ( http://www.softerviews.org/Fonts.html ) It's shaped better for screens. I've wanted to use the included illuminated capitals, but I don't get as much time for development as I'd like. It's a good choice to include as an alternative, but I wouldn't recommend it for an ONLY choice.
