Insert my vote for this here. This is long overdue, and while it's

problem for latin-script-using foo's, everyone else (like Rob, here,

wants to
use non-latin scripts along with latin ones. Historically, most
Japanese
fonts have had horrid latin glyphs, for instance...
The same is true for Korean font(which also has horrible latin
glyphs...), my solution
(yes, I know this is illegal) is mixing FreeSans for Latin glyphs and
one Korean font for
Korean glyphs, and named it as FreeSansKor. I think we should have
more general
solution like substitution...
Have my .2 center here.
That's something I want from GNUstep long time ago.
Latin glyph from Chinese font is unbelievable ugly,
and there are some issuesabout the latin glyph size from Chinese font,
which make Terminal unusable for me in Chinese environment.

BTW, with back-art and subpixel rendering, FreeSans font looks cool.
