I don't have any such fonts and it's not a problem.
If I'm at a Chinese site I'll see little rectangles with
hex codes defining unicode characters that can't be
displayed. So I can't read the text. But I can't read
Chinese, anyway. It's all Greek to me. I can't
imagine why I'd want or need a Chinese font. The little
boxes tell me what I need to know: This webpage will
be of no use to me.
