How could it work if you cannot display a Japanese page with a Japanese 
encoding.

With a page served as UTF-(, you have again the same problem. What font is 
best for Latin characters, which for Chinese, which for Cyrillic, which 
for... If you can only choose a font, you have gained nothing. The font 
substitution permits to choose alternate fonts where the first font has 
lacks.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
