"don't like" ≠ not able

agree, not a rendering issue

Understood, and that is the nature of fonts with "coverage" of mixed usage.
Meiryo is Microsoft developed for jp-JP use. When its character height is
reduced too far the Kanji looks deformed.  Open the UI font scale just a bit to
get better rendering for applications like LibreOffice that do not provide
direct UI scaling like the "enhancements" of the See Also BZ issues listed
above.

Only those enhancements would address this issue directly, otherwise the os/DE
must be scaled, here as provided by Microsoft.
