I wouldn't know. I was just objecting to the notion that such a font
was impossible.
If it exists in Fedora, here's one way you could find it:
* Find a character that's supposed to be different in Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean.
* Find the Unicode codepoints that represent that character in the
three languages.
* Write HTML entities for those codepoints.
* Write a script that loops over all the fonts you have, and, for
each font Fred, emits:
<li>Fred: <font face="Fred">$HTMLENTITIES</font></li>
* Take the resulting HTML, view it in your Web browser, and start
looking for a line where the three characters are different.

Note that Unicode doesn't distinguish between mainland China and
Taiwan.
