You should subscribe to `cjk-list', see

On this page you can also see a link to the archive, which collects
all mails sent to address@hidden'.

Well, cyberbit was a very early try to create a pan-Unicode font, but
it has many deficiencies.  In particular, the used shapes for the
various scripts don't harmonize at all.  Modern OpenType fonts can do
much more, especially for CJK languages: Depending on the environment,
different glyph shapes should be used, cf.

This is something cyberbit doesn't take care at all (but SourceHan
does).
