Comment (by QuLogic):

 Replying to [comment:11 datallah]:
 > The fix is going to involve adding more fonts (that contain the
 appropriate unicode glyphs) to `pango.aliases`.  If someone knows the
 names of the default Windows CJK fonts in the various font families, I'd
 be happy to add them to the lists.

 Are you still looking for this?

 According to [http://www.geocities.com/fontboard/cjk/cjksupp.html
 Fontboard], the available CJK fonts installed with various Office/Internet
 Explorer language packs should be, in no particular order:

 {{{
 Traditional Chinese: MingLiU, PMingLiU
 Simplified Chinese: SimSun, NSimSun, SimHei, MS Song, MS Hei
 Japanese: MS Mincho, MS PMincho, MS Gothic, MS PGothic, MS UI Gothic
 Korean: Batang, BatangChe, Gungsuh, GungsuhChe, Gulim, GulimChe, Dotum,
 DotumChe
 }}}

 I have no idea which ones look "better" or "worse", or what their coverage
 is. Also, 'Arial Unicode MS' is supposed to cover most of the Unicode
 specs.

 Microsoft also has a [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/ list of
 fonts], but you can't search in reverse (by Unicode
 block->Font->Provider), so I didn't bother to look very much.
