Almost. The GNU Unicode Font (http://www.czyborra.com/unifont/)
has lots and lots of characters, and is "biwidth" as you describe
(8 x 16 ideographs, 8 x 8 otherwise).
The trouble is that it's only available in its native format
and BDF format (use the converter hex2bdf at the above location),
and I have been unable to find any BDF->TTF converter. You could try to
persuade Mark Leisher to write one, as he's already written the
converse program, ttf2bdf.
