I agree with depp that it would be more consistent and visually pleasant if the dedicated Latin serif fonts are placed above CJK ones.
There are lot of limitations for the Latin glyphs in CJK fonts, particularly in UMing/UKai: they are mono-spaced, with neither hinting nor kerning, and have never been optimized as Dejavu/Droid/Liberation etc. The embedded bitmaps are quite rough: the baselines are not aligned, the serifs are not consistent and lots of glyphs fills the whole EM which glues the adjacent bitmap glyphs together (for example, "zr" and "200" as in Arne's screenshots). Monospaced Latins are primarily good for console or editors; in other places, they are much inferior to proportional ones. To put Dejavu serif or Droid Serif above UMing is highly desired for CJK locales. -- CJK fonts should not have highest priority https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
