The koi8 fonts are in fact koi8-e encoded; but they claim to be koi8-r to make
X11 happy; that is a dirty trick to allow to use a single font at install
(as space is a limited ressource then) for all koi8-* encodings; the X11
locales for Ukrainian for example used at install cheat and say they want
koi8-r; so everything is happy.
The downside of that is those fonts are useless on a normal system after
install, as they don't match any standard fontset.

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

The 'mdk' fonts have been painted with patience and pain by me 
(Pablo Saratxaga <pablo@mandrakesoft.com>), I know they arequite ugly,
I'm not an artist nor a typograph. However they are uner GPL; feel free
to improve them.
The reason of ther creation is that, aside from iso8859-1, there were no free
fonts available at the needed point size for the needed charset encodings and
with a similarly looking shaping (an Helvetica-like looking has been choosen)

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

The Japanese, "cursor", and Chinese GuoBiao fonts come from stock XFree86
package, the Big5 font comes from "taipei" font package; they are 
maybe too big, if you know a smaller point size font that is both freely
distributable and nice and easy to read, feel free to tell us.

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

The Korean pcf font has been created by converting the True Type font
Baekmuk Gulim, in order to have a font of the right point size for the install
that doesn't take too much disk space.
