Are you saying that if you open up a document in your build of 21.2 that contains, for instance, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Latin characters, all the fonts display correctly without needing any tweaking at all?

I don't see it as a bug. I see it more as a level of technical capability that Emacs has not yet reached to, but no doubt will some day.
