Many Kanji characters in JIS are displayed with Japanese font while
many other Kanji characters not in JIS are some Chinese font, because

Is it your opinion that inadequate font coverage is the fault of the
character encoding?
It should be noted that it is still difficult to understand 1815 if
you have limited expertise to use Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters
only.
RFC 1815 claims (a) that Japanese logographic characters and Chinese
logographic characters are utterly different, (b) that a lack of
language information enforced by a national-standard encoding makes
correctly encoded text illegible to Japanese readers, and (c) that
Internet-standard encodings should be limited to what was covered by a
particular Windows NT font from the mid-1990s. I do find this difficult
to understand.
