You do not only just want the codecs, but also want to display them with
correct fonts. Is it helpful providing Korean and Chinese codecs without
installing necessary fonts?

Most codecs of displayable languages are provided by OS and font provider. So
we don't have to take care of them.

euc_jp is a special one. It's not because we only do this for Japanese
language, but because euc_jp codec is not provided even by Windows Mobile
Japanese version, neither by some 3rd-party Japanese language packs.

Thai is similar, but not that important, because most Thai websites use UTF-8.
