Just use the package manager to install some of the fonts, e.g.
ttf-arphic-* are Chinese, ttf-baekmuk and ttf-alee are Korean,
ttf-kochi-* are Japanese (there are others as well).

Also, the package "unifont" has a glyph for ever code point in the
Basic Multilingual Plane. They may not be ideal, or the best
looking, but it gives you something besides square boxes.
