Re: [tlug] unicode font with czech and japanese characters

Sorry about the bogus multi-MIME encoding, I've managed to confuse
XEmacs more than usual about which charsets it should be using....

On the vanilla Mac (little installed from MacPorts, no non-standard
fonts), I get 10 Japanese fonts, mostly near-dupes:
 2 styles of Osaka,
 2 styles of fixed (one for Korean),
 2 styles of Hiragino Mincho,
 3 styles of Hiragino Gothic, and
 1 style of Hiragino Maru Gothic.

Of these the Hiragino fonts and the fixed fonts claim to do both
Japanese and Czech.

On my Gentoo box, 21:

Of these mikachan and (IIRC) aquafont are handwriting-style.  Only
Sazanami Mincho, the fixed fonts, and the aqua fonts do Czech.

The MS Mincho fonts do Japanese and Czech.

I assume Arial does, I don't have it at the moment.

Maybe.  Lots of monitors don't give correct numbers to the display
card, and sometimes it seems that X.org ignores them.
