[links] Chinese font support?

Thank you for your answer, 
I have read that paragraph about adding fonts from ghostscript
It only mentioned how to add a font in format *.pfb, *.afm, *.pfa, 
Does ghostscript support a font in format *.ttf, too?

And I have another question,
A Chinese font contains more than ten thousand characters, 
After converting it to png images, it will generate a big amount of files, 
And will all those files be compiled into the links browser?
Won't this make the browser binary file too big and cost a lot of memory when running links?

No only Japanese I think.

It has to be in PNG. But you can create using some scripts from Ghostscript.
It's described here:

Only the font part was translated into English, ignore the rest in Czech.
