[CJKUnifonts-devel] (no subject)

[Walter Cheuk]

 I know that Firefly's New Sung/New Kai are even better than
UMing/UKai, but the problems are: 1. They are not publicly available,
or hard to find now (opendesktop.org.tw is closed); 2. UMing/UKai are
installed by default by many distros, including Ubuntu, but New
Sung/New Kai are not.
