Free Open Type font to embed Chinese characters
Greetings members,
I recently am converting a book which has Eastern language within it particularly Chinese. Does anyone know an Open Type font which I could embed in the CSS to code the kanji correctly? Thanks in advance for looking. |

Thanks for viewing and responding, but Ubuntu, does not have Chinese characters. Thanks Doitsu, that's somewhere to start.

@rewyn --- does it have to be Open Type Font (.otf) ?
Jellby found me this batch of Chinese fonts, but they are all True Type (ttf). Worked fine for the project I was doing. Give a look at the Wang Fonts page (zip contains over 30 fonts, different weights and styles, average 6 ~ 9 mb each) https://code.google.com/archive/p/wangfonts/ I used HanWang_002. The fonts are quite large, but most Asian fonts seem to be huge --- subsetting can save some file-size. (in Calibre, or with Toxaris' "Epub Optimizer" plugin for Sigil https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=252010) |
