ABOUT

CJK Unifonts [Arne Götje]

Arne Götje, a German who lives in Taiwan, works on a project to provide CJK unicode fonts. His work is based on the Arphic fonts AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni and AR PL ZenKai Uni. He added the Chinese dialect phonetic symbols. Furthermore, he merged the embedded Firefly Sung bitmap font into CJKUnifonts. In 2005, the work of the Hong Kong freefonts project (OAKA group) was also merged into CJK Unifonts. Additional URL.

Free high quality Chinese truetype Unicode fonts under the Arphic license (Arphic is based in Taiwan). They contain almost 22000 characters (!!!) and contain glyphs for Big 5 Chinese, GB2312-80 Chinese, ISO8859-1,2,3,4,7,9,10,13,14,15 and Bopomofo extended for Minnan and Hakka (Taiwan). The missing glyphs for Japanese, Korean and HKSCS are under development. The fonts are Uming (Mingti, or printed) and Ukai (Kaiti, or brush stroke). They are gorgeous and reproduce well at small screen sizes. Subprojects include modules for typing the Taiwanese styles Minnan and Hakka.
