Comment (by perelandra):

 Replying to [comment:15 pulkomandy]:

As for monospace, Noto Sans CJK can't be used there, because it is not a
 monospace font. We should check BFont.IsFullAndHalfFixed(), but that
 function isn't implemented so IIRC there is a check for the width of some
 characters only to filter out obviously not monospace fonts.

 There is a Noto Sans Mono CJK JP font, so I would think that would be an
 option to select for the Fixed font.  It is an option for selecting in the
 other Plain, Bold and Menu fonts in the Appearance preflet.
