There are a lot of free fonts (open source in your language) out there that cost nothing to use.

    Are you sure about this being true in Japanese? Open source culture over there might be different, and I don't think many Western fonts include Japanese glyphs.

    It's likely, but I wouldn't extrapolate from my Western experiences in this case.

    Unfortunately there is a high level of complexity in some asian text, Chinese and Japanese kanji that are very similar have thousands of characters that are built in parts as far as i understood the technical site but are still annoyingly diverse, so you need a lot more than just lower, upper case, numbers and special characters
