hi, thanks truly for that spirit.

hmm, perhaps the Linux user can eventually use the several TrueType
typefaces provided by Microsoft.

Almost non-existent today. (or am i outdated? *grin*)
i think CJK character input is almost always associated with
a word processor of some kind, given the elaborate glyphs in the
CJK character sets.
just for your interest, u might like to take a look at:
http://charts.unicode.org/unihan.html
I stumbled into this page. As it turns out, this is a pretty
fun way to learn something about Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
That's because that page points to a database which is very much
a CKJ - english dictionary. u could even try to pronounce a character
(i.e. word) using the semi-english like phonetics under the dictionary
data section.
Enjoy;)
Cheers,
Andrew Goh
