I seem to remember that someone recently posted a link to some
statistics on character set usage, but I can't seem to find it in my
old messages. Can anyone help?

Hanzi is a loan word which I have also often seen (usually written
in italics as it should be), but I never said
Actually fonts on Windows are normally Unicode based (including MS
Mincho and MS Gothic) and most have in addition some codepage access. So
there is neither a perf hit nor a codepage problem in using such fonts
on NT, Win2000 and WinXP. These considerations are orthogonal to
OpenType.
