We are going to release intlfonts 1.3 quite soon.  The quality of ttf
fonts will be improved, but no extra ttf fonts will be included.

After intlfonts 1.3, we will shift to the m17n-font project in which
we are going to provide Unicode-base fonts.  We have already made
TrueType or Type1 variable-width fonts for all MES region, as well as
fixed width fonts for normal, bold, italic, bold-italic styles.

It was supposed to, but Murphy's law stands.  (It always takes longer
than expected.)
