Description

Could you add a function to support: different fonts for differents character sets.

e.g. Latin letters like abcde.... and CJK(V) characters like 中日韩越 are usually not able to be rendered with same font.
If we could set them as different font, say Consolas (font family) for Latin letters and SourceHanSans (font family) for CJK(V) characters, then both them could be displayed perfectly.

Thanks
