I started the WenQuanYi project in 2004 for making better fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean users. It is now becoming arguably the largest
collaborative open-source font development project. In the past 3 years,
we have completed drawing over 40,000 Chinese bitmap glyphs from
scratch and improved 30,000~40,000 existing Chinese glyphs.
Now we have full coverage of CJK Unified Ideographics (U4E00-U9FA5,
20,902 char.) and CJK Unified Ideographics Extension A (U3400~U4DB5,
6,582 characters) at 8,9,10,11,12,14pt, for on-screen display of Chinese
characters.

Yes, it is a really great achievement! And as you write a very good example of free open peer-based development. :-)

There has been thousands of volunteers participated our font
development via our wiki website. I think it is quite meaningful
to put forth these works and make real impact to high-quality
international support for Linux community. I am also glad to be
involved for continuously improving these works together
with our developer teams and share with you our passion and
creativities.

It is great we have wqy-bitmap-fonts included in Fedora thanks to you.
I certainly hope to see many more users of wqy fonts in the future!
