Is it possible to support chinese for this CSE port? The original Cave Story have the zh_CN/zh_TW translation. thank you :)

I'm looking for a font that could possibly be used for this. The glyphs have to fit in 12x16 rectangles. Found this:

On the page it says "second level Chinese characters are not included". I don't know what those are. Would anyone watching these issues happen to know if either Cave Story Chinese translation use "second level" characters?

It seems that the second level Chinese characters are not included in LITE version of vonwaon-bitmap font. You can use the normal one.(vonwaon-bitmap.ttf.zip). Simsun(宋体)、ZPIX are recommend too because of full Chinese/Japanese support, :)

Added Simplified Chinese in 0.8.0 and will probably add Traditional Chinese at some point in the future
