if you want chinese/japanese/korean/whatever scripts you might try fonts
like the kochi-gothic-, arphic-, baekmuk-truetype-families, too.

If you use Debian they are available as package and get installed into
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/, but you can find+download them on the web as
well.

good luck,
