Hi,

The Arphic (文鼎) company has released two fonts to the Community to the 
public in 2010, see
http://www.arphic.com/tw/service/support/support_mac.htm

The new fonts are VERY important because it contain many more Chinese 
characters which did not appear in previously released fonts such as 
fonts-arphic-uming. Also, some "mis-writing" has been fixed.

The news can be found in www.arphic.com, with the language of Trad. 
Chinese chosen.


We are Free and free to download it at

However, the page is written in Chinese. For convenience, I give the 
three links for downloading on the page hereby.

And the public License

I've tested that package "unrar-free" is able to extract files from the 
archives.

Its Pubic License is Copyleft, somehow similar to the GPL. and I think 
it meets the demands of DFSG.

I hope the two fonts can be added to official Debian package repository.

Sorry for broken English. I'm not a native speaker.
