The Zaurus comes with the following fonts already pre-installed: 

   * lcfont
   * fixed
   * helvetica (same as mico-unicodefonts-helvetica_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk)
   * micro
   * smallsmooth
   * smoothtimes

Unfortunately, the Japanese character mapping has some overlaps and it is not always possible to correctly map some extended characters in the latin character maps. Unicode fonts help a bit in this aspect. However, many fonts do not have all the unicode characters which results in little square boxes being displayed. It is essential to have a font which has all the unicode characters fully and correctly mapped.

The following fonts get very close to that, however, the unifont only has size 16. 

   * unismall_1.0.0_arm.ipk
   * unifont_1.0-1_arm.ipk

Having fonts that contain as many character sets as possible is a good start, however, it also depends on the application whether it can extract the right character out of the fonts and display them.

I have added the following extra fonts: 

   * mico-unicodefonts-verdana_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk
   * mico-unicodefonts-georgia_1.5.0-2_arm.ipk
   * mico-unicodefonts-utopia_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk
   * fonts-bitstream-vera-sans-mono-50_1.1_arm.ipk
   * fonts-bitstream-vera-sans-mono-75_1.1_arm.ipk
   * FreeSerifFont_20031008_all.ipk
   * FreeSansFont_20031008_all.ipk
   * FreeMonoFont_20031008_all.ipk
   * misaki8_0.04_arm.ipk
   * naga10_0.02_arm.ipk
   * shnm12_0.03_arm.ipk
   * shnm14_0.03_arm.ipk
   * shnm16_0.05_arm.ipk
   * ayu18_0.02_arm.ipk

These fonts are for the default Qtopia deskop and applications. X/Qt and Pocketworkstation use a different set of fonts.
