Somehow I think the differences are somewhat more significant than that.
What do you mean significant? The difference between Antigua and Fraktur fonts is very distinct, and some Fraktur glyphs are unreadable to someone not familiar with only Antigua fonts.
Do you think it is possible to fully represent traditional Chinese and Japanese adequately in a single font?
It's not possible to fully represent traditional German and English adequately in the same font - no way, no how.
I've seen an example by a Italian showing that a Chinese-orientated fontIve read comments by some Japanese claiming that a large number of the kanji in a chinese-oriented font seemed ill-proportioned, even though they contained the exact same stroke order (and not in a stylistic sense).
would be unreadable for Italian, because of the double-spaced accented
vowels. Fonts for one culture may not be considered beautiful or even very
readable to another.
