How to handle CJK ExtB, C, D?

Hi, all.

As an i18n guy, you probably know what does "CJK ExtB, C, D" mean.
If not, consult this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs

I have some test pages for CJK stuff:
http://personal.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/~mx011/cjk.html#cjk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_Unified_Ideographs,_Extension_A
http://personal.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/~mx011/extb.html#extb
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_Unified_Ideographs,_Extension_C
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_Unified_Ideographs,_Extension_D

Tthe result of Fedora fresh install: only the first two regions are
covered. (U+9FCC is a special case since it is added in Unicode 6.1)

But our input methods do have ExtB, C, D stuff, thus leads to
impedance mismatch.
Example:
https://github.com/definite/ibus-table-chinese/blob/master/tables/array/array30_ExtCD_V2012A.txt
https://github.com/definite/ibus-table-chinese/blob/master/tables/cangjie/cangjie-big.txt

Well, it's all about fonts, right?

wqy-zenhei convers up to ExtA.
wqy-microhei doesn't even cover ExtA.
WQY project seems dead for some time already.

Recent release of droid is said to ExtA.

hanazono covers up to ExtD, but:
1. It has Ming style (also called Song style), but people expect Black
(Hei) style in modern desktop environments.
2. It should have Japanese variant of characters whenever applicable,
may not be good enough for non-Japanese users.
