Work in progress fonts

Cyrillic

Research in progress, Found 8x8 font binary in Poisk(Поиск) ROM image but still finding suitable font format in 8x16

Fonts which require lots of research

Hanzi (Chinese)

I could not find any Hanzi bitmap font in "old format" yet.

Fonts that will not be supported

Hanja

Since the modern Korean language does not use Hanja frequently, there is no point to invest time to research Hanja support.

Hangul

• Dokkaebi font in 10x4x4 format
• Dokkaebi font in 10x6x4 format

Their existence is known in This document but I cannot find any further information on the web.
