New exposé 4.6 will be CJK friendly

Because embedding CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) fonts isn't practical (the resultant fonts file ends up several megabytes large), I've added support for system fonts to the upcoming exposé 4.6. This will make it possible to display CJK text without a bandwidth penalty; on the other hand, it also means that text which uses system fonts will appear aliased (it won't appear smooth).

You can see how it will look here. Please, excuse the gibberish -- I used Google's language tools to translate some of the interface text.

Moreover, I've made the new Album Manager for PHP fully localizable as well (this includes CJK text).

Good for the asians, but that look awful :/ I really hope I still can have it look like it was before. That was one of the things I liked about Exposé, the sharp good looking fonts. Furthermore the text of the labels isn't showing, ehh, or was that supposed to be in chinese or something? ...

Latin-based fonts (or any fonts loaded through fonts.swf) will still appear anti-aliased.

Probably, the reason you can't see the interface text is that you don't have CJK fonts installed on your computer.
