However, there are no fonts includes all CJK characters! And in fact, that is quite impossible to finish this kind of work. 

We are not talking about the variants of Han-zi characters! We are talking the missing characters in each font set! For example, Tradintional Chinese won't have 涙,桜 which Janpanse ones have. A Traditional Chinese font won't have the characters which a Janpanses font should have, although there are some shared Han-zi characers with diffent variants, such as 角, 骨.

If there is a document including Traditional Chinese, Simplied Chinese, Japanse and Korean Characters, and not the shared Han-zi charaters, a good program should just display all of them well. GTK2-based programs can do well if you have those fonts. However, QT-based programs just display only the ones depends on what your locale is.
