Just FYI, one of the reasons why WQY Microhei is not maintained is that,
at some time a Droid Sans Fallback update released by Google contains
many more characters than in Microhei, while the project's initial goal
was to expand the original Droid Sans to get better coverage.

It's currently impossible to get the best appearance for character if no
hand-crafted hinting is involved for each type face, even WQY project
had that pushed forward a large step while making Microhei, the project
leader still said that quality of the font will never match those fonts
made by commercial companies because of the limited availability of
volunteer manpower.

Status in “ttf-wqy-microhei” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In quantal and previous version of ubuntu, we use WenQuanYi Micro Hei
  as default Chinese (Traditional) fonts for Sans, Monospace. However,
  the default font is set to WenQuanYi Zen Hei in 0.110 version provided
  by Raring.

  It is a regression that most of Chinese (Traditional) users don't
  appreciate this change. We would like to use WenQuanYi Micro Hei as
  before.

  I changed the conf provided by raring to fit we Chinese (Traditional)
  users more to have WenQuanYi Micro Hei back. Please accept the patch.
