Umm, I have friends who are font fanatics that have thousands of fonts
installed on their system. If they can do that on Windows, they
certainly should be able to do that on Linux. Are you suggesting we a)
limit ourselves to only support what ships with Windows, and ignore
all other fonts out there, or b) create a white list for every known
font out there?

AFAIK, the bad version of the ukai font is 20060928. It shiped with
Ubuntu Feisty [1], Gutsy [2], and FC 8 [3]. Possibly with other
distros as well, I have not done an exhaustive search. Just don't use
that version and you should be fine.
