An update on this: I've finally figured out how to make PDFs with Asian
fonts. However, I need your help: if you have a language which doesn't
display properly with the default fonts (have a look at the site quoted
above, and check the PDFs), you need to email me (privately) and tell me
what SCRIPT your language uses. That way I will build PDFs with a
different font for that language.

I have done -ko and -zh_CN so far. For those two languages, please check
the sample PDFs that I've put up here: http://mdke.org/ubuntu and let me
know (again privately) how they look. I'm particularly interested in
whether the font size is ok.

Matt
