hi Jens

Chinese/Japanese/Korean share a large number of ideographic glyphs (called
Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja). There Hanzi were organized as CJK Unified Ideographics
(U+4E00-9FA5), CJK Unified Ideographics Extension A and Extension B by Unicode
Consortium and endorsed by all governments.  The WenQuanYi bitmap font 0.8
include all CJK Unified Ideographics glyphs (20902 x 4 sizes), with much
improved glyph shape compared to any existing open CJK font. Beside these
unified CJK characters, we also provide Hangul(thousands) and
Hiragana/Katakana(less than 100) glyphs in this font. Although we are not expert
in these JK-specific glyphs, but they look as good as those I have seen in the
commercial fonts, IMHO.

So, I prefer to stay with CJK in the title. At the same time, with more people
start using our font, I also hope more Japanese and Korean people to get
involved in the glyph optimization. Our wiki is open to all people and the
submitted glyph will be automatically compiled into nightly-build fonts.
