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.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeunifont/
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.
