RE: Asian language fonts?

[Pedriana, Paul]

Can somebody tell me why every time somebody 
releases one of those Asian fonts the western 
characters in those fonts (i.e. "a, b, c") 
look so butt-ugly!?

    Mirror on the GNU website:
        ftp://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/chinese-fonts-truetype

    Mirror at CLE (Chinese GNU/Linux Extension):
        ftp://cle.linux.org.tw/pub/fonts

        (contains Arphic fonts and wangfont, and some Postscript fonts
         by Professor Wang for used with cwTeX)

    And of course, it has been packaged for Debian GNU/Linux.  ;-)
        http://packages.debian.org/ttf-arphic

Hope this helps.

Anthony
