See this comment; I am involved in a project that needs to have (automatic) XeLaTeX compilation of various language files on both Mac and Linux (usually Fedora or Debian or Ubuntu), and apparently the default fonts are not at all the same. Is there anything I can do to ensure this kind of portability without asking the user to install new fonts?


Ideally, there would be a solution with some sort of fallback option, but I don't know anything about xecjk (or cjk, for that matter) and in any case that option (as here) seems to be more related to when characters are not present in a font, not when a font isn't present.


The problem is, most Chinese fonts are expensive commercial ones, you simply have little choice for free Chinese fonts. And what's more, Fandol font bundle is the only choice preinstalled in TeX Live (or MacTeX, MiKTeX) if you use XeTeX or LuaTeX. Therefore, it is now the only portable way to typesetting Simplified Chinese documents in TeX.


Yes there are also Arphic fonts, but only subfonts for CJK package in Type1 format are provided in TeX distributions. Only two families (gbsn and gkai) for Simplified Chinese, or two corresponding families (bsmi and bkai) for Traditional Chinese are provided by Arphic.


Yes it is possible. In the developer version (ver 2.x) of ctex package, we defined several different font sets, and the package will detect the operation system and select a native font set if you wish.


Microsoft YaHei:A Simplified Chinese font developed by taking advantage of ClearType technology, and it provides excellent reading experience particularly onscreen. The font is very legible at small sizes.


Microsoft YaHei UI:The font glyphs are certified compliant with China standard GB18030-2000 with the font name Founder Lan Ting Hei. Microsoft Licensed the font glyph from Beijing Founder Electronics Co. Ltd. GB18030-2000


Source Han Serif is optimized for screen display like its sibling, Source Han Sans, but has a completely different personality that could work well in more literary texts or for graceful, stylish headings. It also works beautifully in print. Syncing the fonts through Typekit will immediately enable you to work in multiple languages with the same typeface, and to use the fonts in any desktop application with a font selection menu.


Dr. Ken Lunde, the Project Architect for the Source Han typeface families, did much of the heavy lifting, juggling nearly a half-million glyphs and their associated metadata and turning them into fully-functional Pan-CJK fonts.


The fastest way to start working with Source Han Serif on web or desktop is through Typekit. Additionally, the font files for Source Han Serif and Source Han Sans, along with their source files, are all available with an open source license on GitHub.


From Wikipedia:Computer font: "A computer font is implemented as a digital data file containing a set of graphically related glyphs. A computer font is designed and created using a font editor. A computer font specifically designed for the computer screen, and not for printing, is a screen font."


The typesetting application TeX and its companion font software, Metafont, traditionally renders characters using its own methods. Some file extensions used for fonts from these two programs are *pk, *gf, mf and vf. Modern versions can also use TrueType and OpenType fonts.


You should give pacman the ability to manage your fonts, which is done by creating an Arch package. These can also be shared with the community in the AUR. The packages to install fonts are particularly similar; see Font packaging guidelines.


The creation of a subdirectory structure is up to the user, and varies among Linux distributions. For clarity, it is good to keep each font in its own directory. Fontconfig will search its default paths recursively, ensuring nested files get picked up.


For the Xserver to load fonts directly (as opposed to the use of a font server), the directory for your newly added font must be added with a FontPath entry. This entry is located in the Files section of your Xorg configuration file (e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/xorg.conf). See #Older applications for more detail.


If you are seeing errors similar to this and/or seeing blocks instead of characters in your application then you need to add fonts and update the font cache. This example uses the ttf-liberation fonts to illustrate the solution (after successful installation of the package) and runs as root to enable them system-wide.


Almost all Unicode fonts contain the Greek character set (polytonic included). Some additional font packages, which might not contain the complete Unicode set but utilize high quality Greek (and Latin, of course) typefaces are:


Kaomoji are sometimes referred to as "Japanese emoticons" and are composed of characters from various character sets, including CJK and Indic fonts. For example, the following set of packages covers most of existing kaomoji: gnu-free-fonts, ttf-arphic-uming, and ttf-indic-otf.


Fontconfig automatically chooses a font that matches the current requirement. That is to say, if one is looking at a window containing English and Chinese for example, it will switch to another font for the Chinese text if the default one does not support it.


Fontconfig lets every user configure the order they want via $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf.If you want a particular Chinese font to be selected after your favorite Serif font, your file would look like this:


There are several font aliases which represent other fonts in order that applications may use similar fonts. The most common aliases are: serif for a font of the serif type (e.g. DejaVu Serif); sans-serif for a font of the sans-serif type (e.g. DejaVu Sans); and monospace for a monospaced font (e.g. DejaVu Sans Mono). However, the fonts which these aliases represent may vary and the relationship is often not shown in font management tools, such as those found in KDE and other desktop environments.


Applications and browsers select and display fonts depending upon fontconfig preferences and available font glyph for Unicode text. To list installed fonts for a particular language, issue a command fc-list :lang="two letter language code". For instance, to list installed Arabic fonts or fonts supporting Arabic glyph:


For terminal emulators that use X resources, e.g. xterm or rxvt-unicode, fonts can be set by using escape sequences. Specifically, echo -e "\033]710;$font\007" to change the normal font (*font in /.Xresources), and replace 710 with 711, 712, and 713 to change the *boldFont, *italicFont, and *boldItalicFont, respectively.


Matplotlib (python-matplotlib) uses its own font cache, so after updating fonts, be sure to remove /.matplotlib/fontList.cache, /.cache/matplotlib/fontList.cache, /.sage/matplotlib-1.2.1/fontList.cache, etc. so it will regenerate its cache and find the new fonts [7].


Chinese characters that have different pronunciations are called 破音 (Pò yīn) and will have different zyuyin for each pronunciation. When available, the font will have multiple variants. Select the font that has the correct zhuyin you are looking for.


For standard fonts without Pinyin and Zhuyin, I highly recommend using Google Fonts. They are 100% free for personal use and commercial use. Google fonts can be used in your print documents, digital designs, website, and more. Google fonts offer Simplified Chinese characters and Traditional Chinese Characters for both Hong Kong and Taiwan.


Hi Aaron, my author friend asked her publisher. They use this these fonts that have Zhuyin, but also use a proofreader to make sure the Zhuyin is correct. The fonts are not free and you pay per year to use the font. I hope this is helpful!


This neutral, flexible, sans-serif typeface is the system font for iOS, iPad OS, macOS and tvOS. SF Pro features nine weights, variable optical sizes for optimal legibility, four widths, and includes a rounded variant. SF Pro supports over 150 languages across Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts.

A contemporary interpretation of the Naskh style with a rational and flexible design, this extension of San Francisco is the Arabic system font on Apple platforms. Like San Francisco, SF Arabic features nine weights, variable optical sizes that automatically adjust spacing and contrast based on the point size, and includes a rounded variant.


Gain insight into typographic principles and how they apply to the San Francisco fonts, the result of a deep collaboration between design and engineering teams. This typeface defers to the content it displays to give text unmatched legibility, clarity, and consistency. 2ff7e9595c
