Yes, but you aren't going to get away with much less than 10M each. A newly developed font WQY Zenhei has a quite good CJK coverage. (~21K glyphs) The size of its latest version is about 11M and can be further down to ~8M if embedded bitmap fonts stripped.

This probably dates from when Behdad was helping us with Thai rendering. Behdad, do you remember? - Jim On Tue, 2008-07-01 at 17:52 -0400, C.

I would expect it to be the same as the Debian package ttf-thai-tlwg, but if not, then you have a new resource. Thai fonts in TrueType format This package provides some free-licensed fonts that are enhanced by developpers from Thai Linux Working Group. In TrueType format. At the moment, it provides two families from the National Font Project (Garuda, Norasi), one from NECTEC (Loma) and three developed by TLWG itself (Tlwg Mono, Tlwg Typewriter, Purisa). http://www.nida.gov.kh/activities/localization/thai.pdf --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel -- Edward Cherlin End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business http://www.EarthTreasury.org/ The best way to predict the future is to invent it.--Alan Kay ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
