Thanks for sharing your ideas.

However, in most cases, the latin characters of CJK fonts are really
ugly.  Additionally, normal CJK fonts only cover either Chinese,
Japanese, or Korean, but not all three languages at the same time, so
we have again a similar problem if we want a generic solution for
Unicode display.
