To add to that,
- Ume Mincho (http://sourceforge.jp/projects/ume-font/releases/), 15563
glyphs (no kern pairs... go Japanese! =), supports kana/vert features
only as far as I can tell.
- HAN NOM A/B
(http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/fonts/fonts_hannom.html),
technically a general CJKV font, massive glyph span, but no opentype
features as far as I can tell.
You could perhaps post a request for some test fonts on the OpenType
list, adobe's doing some wonderful things at the moment with CJKV fonts
(particularly the kazuraki font -
http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2010/01/kazuraki_available.html -
if you can convince Ken Lunde to share it for testing purposes =).
