It seems too much to always bundle them with the app. Supporting user-defined fonts is one (though not the only one) solution.

The developer team is inclined to support user-defined fonts in some future release of MapleRead. It's going to take some work.
I think supporting user installed fonts is the best solution to the Chines/Japanese font issue. Those that want can have and those that do not can not have to have.

Another thing, all the non-system fonts could be moved to the user font area so we can keep or delete as we want.
