You don't need to worry about fonts for other locales like Chinese.
Fontconfig has a mechanism, if some chars is missing from the English font, Chinese font will complete that.
That works, but the problem is, if it misses only few characters (think languages like Czech where we use mostly latin, but we do have few special characters like řěž). If you use font that doesn't have these, you have perfectly nice text with few characters used from different font with (sometimes completely) different style. And that looks utterly ugly even to people who don't care about how font looks like.
Found example on the web for font that misses Czech characters:

Can you test it? Install open sans on your machine and use Czech for the language. Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
