Droid fallback CJK and fontconfig?

Hi,

As you probably know Google has released a Droid font set as part of its
Android platform. While the font licensing is being clarified
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472635
(Fedora packaging blocker) I've taken a quick look at the font files.

The set includes a huge "Droid Sans Fallback" font with CJK coverage.
Could the CJK folks take a look at it and tell me how this font should
be treated: as Japanese-only, Chinese-only, Korean-only before/after
current CJK defaults, etc? Han unification means someone will probably
not be happy about it.

I've uploaded preliminary droid packages there
http://nim.fedorapeople.org/fontpackages/

so people can check them out.

Regards,
