Yes, I'm looking for fonts with Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean 
and similar characters. I don't want them to be included into DejaVu 
fonts, because that would make DejaVu too big, I guess, but I would like 
to offer them as "standard" extension (in fact I was reading Wikipedia's 
article on Japan language last night and it would look better if I had 
some Japanese font).

Have a nice day.
