I think above your voice are valid and applicative :)

ex, port Makefile knob like WITH_FONT_VLGOTHIC (default),
WITH_FONT_IPAFONT (if user set it) or something like that
are useful, you know?

# In all honesty, font quality of vlgothic as japanese font
# is awful. When possible I want to prevent to use it anyway.
