Japanese fonts typically have both the half-width and full-width glyphs,
and the common solution is a variant of your (1): instead of encoding
text in Unicode, many documents are encoded in Shift-JIS, EUC-JP and
ISO-2022-JP. These encodings give separate code points to the half-width
and full-width "characters".
