Are there fonts that support all languages (including Han characters and Cyrillic) that also includes multiple weights in the family? I know this is a tall order but I figured I would ask. Cheers!

Source Han Sans. If you need a better version of the Cyrillic use Source Sans Pro.

There are no fonts that support all languages today. Unicode is too large, has too many languages. Years ago, fonts like Arial Unicode and Lucida Sans Unicode were made, which supported most of Unicode in those days. There are other severe problems with making all language fonts, especially Han unification, which was probably a mistake.

 

So if you need to support multiple languages (or rather, multiple writing systems) you need a set of fonts, which you can perhaps choose to complement each other.

The Cyrillic glyphs in Source Han Sans are derived from Source Sans Pro, but have been scaled and tuned to better match the the CJK glyphs.

While not one font support all languages, I would recomment NOTO from Google (available to sync in Adobe font or to download for free from Google directly)
That's one of the main ones when you think about an extended support of different writing systems.
