 I appologize: I am fishing for the said font in the context outside
booki (for now).  It is OmegaT documentation - see
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/OmegaT/files/2-%20Documentation/: -
we have a load of western kind of languages, and then Chinese, Japanese
and it is a horror with fonts.

It may look like I am poaching, but otoh I see booki as a possible haven
for the work we have been doing - see Re: [FM Discuss] Importing DocBooks

Thank you in any case!
