I agree with this position.   Also, I read Japanese and we have just 
done a large double-byte project - I am well aware that when you mix 
Western and Japanese text, you want the Western font to be 'as good as 
usual'.  But we don't have the feature today and will have to try to fit
it in with other upcoming development...
