List of CJK fonts explained

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:^[1]

• 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,)
  • Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, using education standard: Standard Form of National Characters,)
  • Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong, using education standard: List of Graphemes of Commonly-Used Chinese Characters,)

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 Nom 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^[2])
• Pan-CJK: intended to support the majority of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, and not specifically designed for any one of these writing systems
