I wasn't trying to compare the systems in the sense of "which is  
better", but giving examples from my system because that's where I  
have the most experience.

I didn't realize that appropriate font-selection would be done  
automatically, and that certainly solves the problems I've heard  
about from users (where do I get a font that will display my  
language? why can't I display it? etc.). I only followed this  
question up because I thought it might help users.

Now I can happily drop this issue, and get on with some others. :D
