Comment to setFontFamily() says:

Specifies the fonts which shall be used to display the text contents of this run. Specifies a font which shall be used to format all characters in the ASCII range (0 - 127) within the parent run

To other char try use CTFonts.setHAnsi, for example myXWPFRun.getCTR().getRPr().getRFonts().setHAnsi("Arial");
