I doubt you will find a free suitable font that is expected to be
installed on every user's box so that "a user just clicking "'use non-
TeX fonts' and compiling will get the correct result."

But, after all, this is not something the UG is designed for (and
neither the CJK quotation marks).

However, the UG is a quite good test file. It would be a pity to take
it off the set just because the glyphs are missing. Ignoring the
missing glyphs warning strikes me a better alternative.

Then you would need to maintain that copy and update it every time the
UG is updated. I doubt this will work.
