Default CJK font files preview tool?

Is there a tool to preview CJK unicode font files without having to install
the font first?

One trick I know of:

If you doubleclick any font, installed or not, you'll see a preview, but it
only includes the roman character set, so won't give you an idea what the CJK
characters look like.

But when you preview the font like this, Windows stealthily installs it
(temporarily) behind the scenes. So while the preview window is open, you can
hop over to CharMap, choose the font from the dropdown listbox at top of the
window) and view the entire character set.

Close the original preview window and Windows uninstalls the font again.
