That would be nice. However, I think it would be difficult to bundle
it because of its very large size.
My idea would be to include it in a language pack. But that task would
be time consuming.

Now, for CJK, how about using Google's Noto CJK Font as a default font?
* https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk
For Japanese fonts for Windows and Mac, Yu Gothic and Yu Mincho are
used for OS bundled fonts. But, since they are OS bundled fonts, they
are not freely available.
Recently, BIZ UD Gothic and BIZ UD Mincho are also used. These are SIL OFL.

* https://github.com/googlefonts/morisawa-biz-ud-mincho

I haven't been able to find the cause yet, but using Propotional
Alternate Metrics in the font feature can cause the letter filling to
be wrong. I would be happy to find the cause of this problem.
