That won't work, at least not in the way you want it to. CJK ideograms fit into a more quadratic ("full-width") box while Latin characters fit more into a rectangular box ("half-width"). Therefore you can find pixel fonts like 6x13 or 7x14 (I also have 8x16kana and 8x16romankana). You could stretch these Latin characters to fit into a quadratic box, then they are twice as wide as before at the same height – they're now cinemascope.

These two, Latin and Chinese, are incompatible.

What is this talk of 'release?' Klingons do not make software 'releases.'  Our software 'escapes,' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
