Are you saying that if you open up a document in your build of 21.2 that
contains, for instance, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Latin characters, all
the fonts display correctly without needing any tweaking at all? If so, this is 
the first case I have heard
among many of my colleagues who are using Emacs.

I don't see it as a bug. I see it more as a level of technical capability
that Emacs has not yet reached to, but no doubt will some day.
