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.
