Updated 20100712:

I decided to use WenQuanYi Microhei to render complex glyphs such as CJK, rather
than pervious raster glyphs.

Following contents are deprecated since 20100712:

12x13mdk.pcf and 18x18mdk.pcf are variations of 12x13ja and 18x18ja from
standard XFree86, where latin and cyrillic has been replaced with
versions from mdk_12.pcf, adding also armenian and thai.
greek has also been hand tuned to make it proportional spaced too.

Those fonts cover CJK languages, and any other without a specific font

===============================================================================

Note: the font TSCu_Paranar.ttf has wrong glyphs at some latin1
positions; and the font (and so, the wrong glyphs) may be used to display
latin1 letters. to avoid that, run the following one-liner after
calling fc-cache:

  perl -pe 's/^("TSCu.*):lang=[^:]*:/\1:lang=ta:/' -i fonts.cache-1
