font-family is not Chinese-character friendly

[breezewish]

Currently Chinese characters are rendered ugly :(

font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", AppleSDGothicNeo-Medium, 'Segoe UI', 'Malgun Gothic', Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;

How about this:

font-family: "Open Sans", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", "Segoe UI", Verdana, Tahoma, "Hiragino Sans GB", "Hiragino Sans GB W3", STHeiti, AppleSDGothicNeo-Medium, "Microsoft YaHei", sans-serif;

Or let the system judge the font?

font-family: sans-serif

Thank you good advice. Although set in Chinese > Japanese > Korean order do not know what the main font of China and Japan.

@rhiokim I found that AppleSDGothicNeo-Medium has its own Chinese characters, so it will overwrite Chinese fonts behind it (and will be rendered ugly). On the other hand, Chinese font Hiragino Sans GB has Korean characters as well. So the order might be a complex issue. That's why I prefer font-family: sans-serif :-) which is pretty OK in OS X, but I don't know how it looks in Windows.

BTW, how to set default font-family in user style css?

body {
    font-family: ...
}

doesn't work.

Currently I'm using:

*:not(code) {
    font-family: ...
}

Are there any better ideas?

Right! Could you tell me about many used fonts or favorite fonts in Chinese?

	OSX	Windows	Linux
Chinese	?	?	?
Japanese	?	?	?
Korean	AppleSDGothic-*	Malgun Gothic	?
