User reviews

Generally good, but it's hard to make multilingual webpages look good. For example certain Latin words with diacritics look bad on a webpage labelled as Chinese because the Chinese font doesn't have full Latin coverage, but using the Latin font for the whole webpage doesn't work either.

doesn't seem to work. setting Latin script to inter and 新ゴ for Japanese seems to just use inter for everything
