Hi, Will,

Just to comment on 3., only for Japanese font stuff.

2010/7/12 Will Robertson<wsp...@gmail.com>:
3.  All of my Japanese examples use the Hiragino fonts distributed
with Mac OS X; are there any free alternatives I can use that supports
features such as ruby, kana style, annotations, "CJK Shape", and
so on?
Free (in the Open Source Definition sense) Japanese fonts which I am
aware of (and having English explanation) are

To add to that,

- Ume Mincho (http://sourceforge.jp/projects/ume-font/releases/), 15563 glyphs (no kern pairs... go Japanese! =), supports kana/vert features only as far as I can tell.

- HAN NOM A/B (http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/fonts/fonts_hannom.html), technically a general CJKV font, massive glyph span, but no opentype features as far as I can tell.

You could perhaps post a request for some test fonts on the OpenType list, adobe's doing some wonderful things at the moment with CJKV fonts (particularly the kazuraki font - http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2010/01/kazuraki_available.html - if you can convince Ken Lunde to share it for testing purposes =).
