Not sure what you meant by a standard font, but Batang is designed for writing Korean. Yes, it is missing some phonetic characters but also some kanjis in the picture is wrong. (here comes our favorite problem.)
Ah, that explains it. Is there a way of telling directly from the font which language(s) they are supposed to support? Or is this trial and error?
For Japanese, MS Mincho, MS UI Gothic, MS P Mincho or MS P Gothic, or on Vista or later Meiryo are the ones to use.
Yup, they look much better. A paragraph from http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeak rendered in MS UI Gothic attached.
