Do we have any users from the large continent of Asia who care about the
fonts OpenBSD's X11 ships with by default?

Now that DejaVu covers European alphabets so well, I can't help but
notice that we still seem to be limited to bit-mapped fonts for
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Devanagari.  I suspect they look
crappy, too.  We also have no fonts at all for a bunch of major
Indic languages.

Take a look at
http://www.wikipedia.org/
in Firefox to see what I mean.

Are there any people familiar with the affected languages who can
point us to free and standard scalable fonts?
