I'm currently studying Korean, and am starting to dab in Kanji and the other Japanese writing systems.
Thus far, Bitstream Vera has been my font of choice on my KDE desktop, and it supports Hangul well enough for my needs. However, it's seriously lacking in the Kanji department.
The Baekmuk Batang font seems to support Kanji better, but it looks really ugly for desktop use. Especially since my KDE 3.3.0 Desktop is English, and the Baekmuk fonts do not seem to support the western alphabet that well.
Does anyone know of a good all-round font that will look acceptable in English, Korean, and support a wide range of Kanji characters?
I'm gonna answer my own question here; but the "Kochi Substitute " fonts (in portage) seems to work rather nicely. They look pretty decent as a desktop font, and supports Kanji, and Hangul very well.
