This is a list of notable CJK fonts (computer fonts with a large range of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters). These fonts are primarily sorted by their typeface, the main classes being "with serif", "without serif" and "script". This article name the two first classes Ming and sans-serif (gothic) while further divide the "script" into several Chinese script styles.
The fonts are then sorted by their target writing system:
- Chinese: Chinese character. (May also support bopomofo.)
This can be subdivided into the following classification:- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese (General, using printing standard or jiu zixing, Chinese: 舊字形)
- Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, using education standard: Standard Form of National Characters, Chinese: 國字標準字體)
- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong, using education standard: List of Graphemes of Commonly-Used Chinese Characters, Chinese: 常用字字形表)
- The following localization table shortens Simplified Chinese to SC and Traditional Chinese to TC.
- Japanese: kanji, hiragana and katakana
- Korean: Hangul, hanja, etc.
- Vietnamese: for the Nôm script formerly used
- Zhuang: for Sawndip
- Pan-Unicode: intended to globally support the majority of Unicode's characters, and not specifically designed for one or a few writing systems (note that Pan-Unicode font ≠ Unicode font)
- Pan-CJK: intended to support the majority of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, and not specifically designed for any one of these writing systems
