What's the target?

Some examples: 
      * newspapers like layout, targeted at print => best choice would
        be Times or derivatives (serifs, thin, perfect for multicolumn
        layout) 
      * web presentation => I personally like URW Gothic and similar,
        sans serif is a must 
      * standard printed text => something like Computer Modern (thought
        that might look too scientific, URW Bookman is an example from
        the other end of spectrum), generally serifs are a need plus it
        needs to be less condensed than Times 
      * posters => I have no experience here, but sans-serif font would
        be a better choice, should probably have glyphs that look well
        at bigger sizes (Droid is not a good choice, it's rather
        thin/condensed, designed for small size) 
      * ...

Do we have any advised complementary fonts with CJK glyphs (I believe we
have quite a solid user base in China, Japan and Korea as well)?
