I dunno.  While the stylistic preferences clearly overlap, I find it
hard to imagine a Japanese text being published in a *Song or Kaiti
font, etc.  The Gothic fonts are hard to distinguish, of course.

And certainly if you get a Chinese font mixed in for a few characters,
you can tell the difference.
