If your files are in Unicode, XeTeX is your best bet, but you would do well to avoid using it with Computer Modern for such an application; better will be to declare the fonts you want using system fonts -- the following is the relevant part of a multilingual job which I run here using XeTeX.  Obviously you will need to redefine \tenrm (etc) if you want to make no changes to your documents and continue to use font selectors such as \rm, \bf, \it, etc.
