Current impl meaning is, I think
(WebCore/platform/graphics/win/FontCacheWin.cpp/getFontDataForCharacters()),
if each UNICODE characters CAN BE simplifiedChinese(CP936), they are all
simplifiedChinese char.

Currently many many chars, not only Kanji but also alphanumeric chars are
detected as
(Chinese | Japanese | Korean | more...) by mlang.dll, and rendered with
unfamiliar fonts
(for-Chinese system fonts, it's forced preinstalled to Japanese NT too,
specified by windows/inf/intl.inf).

I don't know now how to solve this gently, with considaration of international
use of WebKit.
I'll think over while doing houseworks today....

The quickest *temporary* hack is exclude Japanese installation, simply
checkable:
        if (GetACP()==932){ /* is Japanese */}
so hacks like:
        if (/*TEMPHACK*/GetACP()!=932 && actualCodePages && ...

Some anonymous testers says this hacks avoids current problem.
