Hi, Will,

Just to comment on 3., only for Japanese font stuff.

Free (in the Open Source Definition sense) Japanese fonts which I am
aware of (and having English explanation) are:

* IPA fonts:
http://www.ipa.go.jp/software/open/ossc/ipafont/

* Hanazono font:
http://www.fonts.jp/hanazono/

* M+ OUTLINE FONTS:
http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/index-en.html

IPA fonts includes both JIS X 0213:2000 shape and JIS X 0213:2004 shape
using IVS.

Hanazono fonts have only 'Kanji' glyphs, but they have complete Kanji
glyphs of ISO/IEC 10646 (54,836 glyphs).

M+ OUTLINE FONTS are licensed under BSD licence having 7 weight, but
they have only 2200 'Kanji' glyphs yet.

Both M+ and IPA fonts support vertical writing support.

I don't know about other feature...

Best regards,
