If only font name was changed (default 9 point): 

* Readability and Visibility:

  * BIZ UDGothic > VL Gothic > MotoyaLCedar

  Greater is better, thus BIZ UDGothic is best in idealy.

* Readability and Visibility with cosidering quality and disk usage
  balance)

   * VL Gothic > MotoyaLCedar > BIZ UDGothic 

   Visibility is better than MotoyaLCedar, so VL Gothic is best.

* Readability and Visibility with cosidering disk usage
 
  * MotoyaLCedar > VL Gothic > BIZ UDGothic

  less readability and visibility, but it is better than
  nothing and there is significant improvement current Han
  -Unification issue.

After all, if disk/memory usage issue was resolved technically in
somewhat, BIZ UDGothic is the best, but if it is difficult or there is
some blocker, 
adopting MotoyaLCedar for a while is better compromise solution IMHO.

I'll check tweaked version later.
