I am not pushing wqy's font as the default font at all. I am only trying
to tell you what it is, and how it differers from the others fonts that
people
are using. Whether it is suitable to be included in ubuntu as the
default font, it is a decision totally up to the Ubuntu management team,
in this case, Arne and his colleagues at Ubuntu.

On the other hand, I personally do not like firefly's bitmaps, so do many
friends that I know, that's why we modify it since 2004. This is just flavor
differences, and we are happy that we have seen many supporters from
CJK users in the past.
