The same is true for Korean font(which also has horrible latin 
glyphs...), my solution
(yes, I know this is illegal) is mixing FreeSans for Latin glyphs and 
one Korean font for
Korean glyphs, and named it as FreeSansKor. I think we should have more 
general
solution like substitution...

BTW, with back-art and subpixel rendering, FreeSans font looks cool. :-)
