Subject: [gentoo-dev] www-client/chromium and asian fonts, help needed

1 There is a bug about www-client/chromium and asian fonts:

4 First, I'm just wondering whether making the browser RDEPEND on some
5 fonts would be a correct solution. Maybe, similarly to the icon themes,
6 we should just suggest some fonts in pkg_postinst.

8 I have no idea which of the fonts listed in the bug above handle
9 Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. It seems that it is important to
10 differentiate between them. Short example: for a Chinese page we need
11 the Chinese font, not just any CJK font. A Korean font might seem to
12 render most of the Japanese characters correctly, but it's not 100%
13 correct. Do you have some ideas how to handle that?
