Please don't misunderstand. I know importance of a common language.
I'll translate a document into English when the software is useful for
any other people. I thought JISX 0213 is useful for ONLY Japanese and said
so. Sorry, it was my mistake. I realized Japanese font is not for only
Japanese by David, Osamu, and others description, thanks.
And one more thing, Osamu pointed out problems in Uchida's description.

We greatly appreciate the contribution of Yannis
Haralambous and Tereza Tranaka
<yannis@fluxus-virus.com>. They made free TrueType
and Type1 fonts for Latin-X series, Thai, and
Vietnamese. They will eventually make fonts for
more character sets.

Well, I'll contact kandata authors and make sure that it's free.
I'll post conclusion here. Wait a moment, please.
