The 'mdk_10.pcf' font have been painted with patience and pain by me 
(Pablo Saratxaga <pablo@mandrakesoft.com>), I know it's quite ugly,
I'm not an artist nor a typograph. However it is under GPL; feel free
to improve them.

It is used for the left side menu for languages covered by 12x13 font
which aren't CJK

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

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
and not in latin or cyrillic

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

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
