Sorry, I discovered that the big letters ÜÖÄ were not implemented. So I started searching and found a font, which has it all:
WenQuanYi Micro Hei, a Droid Sans Fallback-Alternative !
http://wenq.org/enindex.cgi
"I. About this font
WenQuanYi Micro Hei font family is a Sans-Serif style (also known as Hei,
Gothic or Dotum among the Chinese/Japanese/Korean users) high quality
CJK outline font. It was derived from "Droid Sans Fallback", "Droid
Sans" and "Droid Sans Mono" released by Google Corp. This font package
contains two faces, "Micro Hei" and "Micro Hei Mono", in form of a
True-Type Collection (ttc) file. All the unified CJK Han glyphs, i.e.
GBK Hanzi, in the range of U+4E00-U+9FC3 defined in Unicode Standard 5.1
are covered, with additional support to many other international
languages such as Latin, Extended Latin, Hanguls and Kanas. The font
file is extremely compact (~5M) compared with most known CJK fonts.
As a result, it can be used for hand-held devices or embedded systems, or
used on PC with a significantly small memory footprint. Because both
font faces carry hinting and kerning instructions for Latin glyphs,
they are the excellent choices for desktop fonts.
II. Development History
The original Droid Sans Fallback font contain 16,000 Unified Han glyphs,
and was officially released by Google under Apache2 license on Dec. 9,
2008 [2]. With a Javascript-based web interface, Fontopia(TM) [1], developed
by mozbug and Qianqian Fang, the WenQuanYi contributors had completed
over 10,000 new glyphs by combining the spline contours from the existing
Droid Han glyphs. By the end of 2008, project phase-1 had almost
completed, and phase-2 for CJK Extension A (U+3400-U+4DB5) was brought
online on Dec. 29, 2009. A review panel was formed to reinforce the
quality of all submitted glyphs [3]. In Jan. 2009, the reviewers
had redone over 2000 Hanzi and completed all the missing characters.
The nightly-build font has become online since Jan. 16. As of Feb. 2009, there
has been over 5500 CJK Extension A Han glyphs completed, which led this
font toward a complete GB18030 coverage.
In this font, we incorporated the high quality Latin glyphs from "Droid Sans"
and "Droid Sans Mono", which contain not only a better coverage but also
the additional hinting and kerning information. The EM of MicroHei
and MicroHeiMono fonts were unified to 2048 to retain all the advanced
typesetting features."
I extracted the normal ttf-font from the ttc (TrueType Font collection).
Rename it then to Serif_regular.ttf and there you go.
