As far as I know "MS Gothic" (msgothic.ttf) font renders well, 
also "HGGothicB" (hgrgb98.ttf), "Andale WT" (andalewt.ttf) does.

While "MingLiU" (mingliu.ttc) is affected by that problem...

Unfortunatelly I'm not sure about licences on these fonts, 
but probably none of them is free. But at least a few of them
are distributed with (some versions of) MS Windows.

Also I have some links to free fonts, but I'm not sure if there 
are any Asian...

You can also see here (although I'm not sure about the "legal" side):

BTW, this is nice topic for the new Wiki...
