See if you have the Gnome Character Map utility installed on your system.  It 
is useful for browsing the characters in specific fonts:

If you cannot find a Unicode font with that has Central European characters as 
well as CJK characters, you can use font substitution:

If you do not care about using non-open fonts, an easy fix would be to 
download the Microsoft True Type Core Fonts and use Arial.
