Perfect YaHei

Force the use of “Microsoft YaHei” font for CJK text (though Chinese/Japanese/Korean text is not very useful for foreign users).
What is Perfect YaHei?
'Perfect YaHei' is a meticulously designed extension for Chrome offering an improved reading experience for CJK characters. It applies the 'Microsoft YaHei' font on all Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters, offering better visibility and readability. In absence of 'Microsoft YaHei', it falls back to 'WenQuenYi Micro Hei' or 'Droid Sans Fallback'. With added features including coverage of multiple font-weights, compatibility with specific websites, and special handling for non-CJK fonts, 'Perfect YaHei' ensures an enhanced textual display for users.
