this is quite difficult, for two reasons:

1. We do not have mono-spaced Latin glyphs on WQY's wiki,

2. This can add redundancy to the TTC font because the
bitmap related tables (BDAT/BLOC/EBDT/EBLC etc) can no
longer be merged. This will cause duplication of all bitmap
data for the shared Hanzi glyphs.

Are you unhappy with the AA-only Latin glyphs in
Zen Hei Mono? or the Chinese part? In the former
case, one possible solution is to add hinting to the Latin
glyphs.
