[openbeos] Re: Messages Translation ?

Since people have jumped into the issue of characters sets I would refer people 
to a subsection of localiz(s)ation pages that I have worked on for GE, and also 
the page on font rendering:

There are already free unicode fonts in development.

Although I would willingly lend my hand and scanner to creating a CJK font, I 
unfortunately don't (yet) have the arcane knowledge for creating a good 
looking, scalable,  and small (relatively speaking) font  from those images.  I 
am familiar with nearly all of the korean syllables.  I know more of the 
simplified chinese characters than the traditional characters.  I have only 
recently begun my study of japanese characters so my form is rather poor for 
them.  If someone were interested in working with me I can scan high resolution 
images and pass them on.  Then again, it'd probably be better to have a native 
create the characters because I may miss some nuance and my knowledge of the 
character set is admittedly incomplete.  It's probably not the best use of my 
skills either, since I think development is in more demand here.
