Summary Consider ignoring Greek/Cyrillic full-width/fixed-width glyphs in CJK fonts

Some CJK fonts (especially on Windows) have the fixed-width (exactly the same width as CJK glyphs) glyphs for Greek, Cyrillic and non-Latin ASCII characters. When such a CJK font is at the top of the font stack, Greek and Cyrillic are rendered with a very ugly fixed width glyphs in that CJK font even though there are much better Greek/Cyrillic glyphs available in other fonts (e.g. Arial, Times New Roman, Helvetica, Times, etc). This can happen if a user set his global font setting to use a CJK font for standard, serif, sans-serif family and a web site just specifies a CSS generic family (e.g. 'serif' or 'sans-serif') as Wikipedia does. This can also happen when a web site specifies such a CJK font at the top of a font stack (or before any Latin/Greek/Cyrillic font).
