As a DejaVu maintainer, we welcome anyone who wants to implement Japanese and Chinese :-) , you'll probably make many people happy (and also some unhappy...) But as I don't see that happening soon, I suggest implementing a fall back mechanism. Bonus points for adding a language aware mechanism which chooses different fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and different ones for "normal" Arabic, Persian and Urdu :-) Greetings Ben _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
