I'd like to point out 3 things:
Fonts are part of a theme, as designed by the author. A theme without
working font is just as broken as if would show the build-in wps. And
we should not ship broken themes. So, either ship the font, or don't
ship the theme at all.
The other thing is, that Rockbox should work out of the box, and
should not require extra downloads for core features (and the theming
and font engine is a core feature, whereas doom is not).
IMO it's essential for the user experience, that, when he goes to
browse the themes, that all themes just work when he selects one.
The 3rd thing is (I somehow hit sent before being finished :/ ) that
particularly Unifont should be shipped with Unicatcher. If Rockbox tries
to support most (if not all) languages, it should "out-of-the-box" meet
every requirement for it. And a suitable font is of course essential for
this. Again, for me, this support is flawed, once it requires extra and
optional downloads.
Why are "Westerners" fine without having to download a bunch of fonts
(which are probably more than needed), while Asians are in the need to
download those? That's not the way to go in my opinion.
