Please try the patch below.  I have a very limited number of cases
with which I can test it, so I think users of CJK scripts should say
what they think.  Basically, set the new variable line-height-factor
to something like 1.2 (more if you enlarge the non-ASCII font to make
double-width characters take close to 2 columns), and see if you get
the desired effect.

If this is what people want, I will install it and document it.
