    Does that mean technically they come as one font, but your rendering engine
    needs to pick the right one?

    Either way. I'm happy to hear that someone is working on this. I use the fonts
    distributed with Debian and ever so often stumble upon basic characters (<
    2000 from a learners perspective), that render Japanese, though my locale is
    zh_CN.

    Thanks both of you for your answers. Sorry, I'll put my time in algorithms
    regarding CJK, so no time left for the fonts. :)
