  All right. I got your point. Perhaps for the time being,  what CJK users
(and distribution packagers) can do (until X RENDER extension
is widely deployed and used )  is to split a single CJK TTF into
to two TTFs and put something like the following in fonts.dir/fonts.scale?

watanabe-mincho-n.ttf -watanabe-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1
watanabe-mincho-w.ttf -watanabe-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-
  jisx0208.1983-0

where watanabe-mincho-n.ttf includes only glyphs for characters
that are supposed to have half the width of glyphs for chars in
watanabe-mincho-w.ttf. This is similar to what Markus did with
misc-fixed-iso10646-1.

 Having said this, I have to find out how to do it (perhaps with pfaedit).
