A bit about fonts:

The largest maker of Chinese fonts, is the company Founder. In fact, they supply fonts in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. ( You may have seen CJK as name of fontset ) Since 2001? it has been part of Microsoft XP - where they have much of their fonts from.

Founder Lanting is one of the fonts used. I know little about fonts, other then that many fonts are copyrighted. And English may not mean quite the same as we think. Several times I have come across words which seem to go under Hong Kong English in dictionaries. Point is, English release is not the same as European release. So, I think all what you guys have reported here makes logical sense.
