Droid Sans Fallback for chinese include gb2312 charset only. although it's not enough, the font is made by people from large company and the glyph of the font is beautiful than that of wqy ZenHei. Just like the default english font --Bitstream Vera Sans, the font is nice, but the number of character is too small, so the DejaVu font is used for complementarity.

btw, DejaVu is based on Bitstream, and wenq WeimiHei is also based on Droid Sans Fallback. WeimiHei covers gbk and will extend to gb18030 soon, it's not mature though.

the sans font order:

if the WeimiHei is mature enough for use
1 Droid Sans Fallback
2 wenq WeimiHei
3 wenq ZenHei

if the WeimiHei is not mature
1 Droid Sans Fallback
2 wenq ZenHei

I accessed the forum of wenq before, and i found that they also endorse the Droid Sans Fallback or weimihei was better than zenhei. Droid Sans Fallback is totally made up of module.
