Tthe Debian package of the kochi-mincho font suggests to use 
sazanami-mincho, so probably we should use that. It would be still nice 
to link to the original font source and not to any Linux distribution's 
package.

In case it is a self extracting EXE file it would be nice if we could 
upload a zip version of it too, so people without Windows can use it 
without the need to use wine and/or DOSBox.
