- create a jre/lib/fonts/fallback directory if necessary and
- copy or link the fonts files into this directory. (On my Linux system: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/gbsn00lp.ttf )
- I will install Japanese fonts when the business need arises.

installed Japanese ttf fonts, and linked them into the fallback directory:
history:
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-gothic-subst.ttf .
506 ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-gothic.ttf .
507 ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-mincho-subst.ttf .
508 ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-mincho.ttf .
...jre/lib/fonts/fallback# pwd
...jre/lib/fonts/fallback
Note that Japanese and Chinese can clash allegedly with difference characters for the same unicode point.
For windows example see:
