Why don't we add a Japanese font to ReactOS?

How about Droid Sans Fallback font? It has Japanese, Chinese, and Korean glyphs, and (IMVHO) looks better then Systema font. Some screenshots:

Japanese: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

Chinese: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

Korean: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

It's nice!
Systema font looks too large. So it seems better than Systema font.

ReactOS getting a Japanese font from Google Android. These are the kind of things that only happen in open-source projects. Gotta love it.

I don't know any Japanese myself (I wish I did, considering how many video games I play and all the anime I watch) but that does look like a good font compared to others I've seen. It looks very clean and it's soft on the eyes.

Now let's hope we can get more Japanese people involved. The more international this project gets, the better, and I imagine Japanese coders could have a lot to contribute to ReactOS.

Wouldnt we need Hiragana and some Kanjis too?

switch to grahpic mode for Chinese/Japanese/Korean (and any other languages that cannot be handled in 80*50 text mode) for usetup/setupldr/freeldr is necessary indeed.
For font, we can extract needed bitmap data from unifont and create a bootfont.bin liked solution.

Somebody tried to create a graphical installer, but now nobody works on it…

but still, you can't localize boot menu part.

By the way, what's your opinion about that Droid Sans Fallback font?
