How can we support all possible languages?
We already have:
DejaVu: Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic (?), Tifinagh
TTF-Indic: every official Indian language, Latin
Sazanami-fonts: Japanese, Latin
Sinhala_lklug-font-ttf: Sinhala (Sri Lanka), Latin
I don't know yet which font to use for:
Chinese
Thai
What language still misses?
PS: We could deliver all fonts on ISO and at the end there could be a dialogue: "Which fonts do you want to install?" What do you think about it? If all fonts are installed by default it will result in an endless font list which is unnecessary.
EDIT:
- Updated Japanese
- Updated Sinhala
International fonts

I declare that I will be using the font for non-commercial purposes only and that I will not give it on to any third parties.
