|
||||
I. Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
WenQuanYi bitmap fonts include all 20,932 Unicode 5.2
|
||||
CJK Unified Ideographs (U4E00 - U9FA5) and 6,582
|
||||
CJK Extension A characters (U3400 - U4DB5) at
|
||||
5 different pixel sizes (9pt-12X12, 10pt-13X13,
|
||||
10.5pt-14x14, 11pt-15X15 and 12pt-16x16 pixel).
|
||||
Use of this bitmap font for on-screen display of Chinese
|
||||
(traditional and simplified) in web pages and elsewhere
|
||||
eliminates the annoying "blurring" problems caused by
|
||||
insufficient "hinting" of anti-aliased vector CJK fonts.
|
||||
In addition, Latin characters, Japanese Kanas and
|
||||
Korean Hangul glyphs (U+AC00~U+D7A3) are also included.
|
||||
|
||||
This font was built upon the previous works by firefly
|
||||
(firefly[at]firefly(dot)idv(dot)tw)[2]. The 12pt bitmap
|
||||
glyphs between U3400-U9FA5 were derived from Chinese
|
||||
national standard GB19966-2005 [3].
|
||||
|
||||
We release this font to the public as an open-source
|
||||
software in terms of GNU General Public License version 2.
|
||||
You are free to copy, distribute, and/or modify this
|
||||
font as long as you pass the freedoms to the users
|
||||
of the derived work.
|
||||
|
||||
We hope you find this font useful. Please direct your
|
||||
feedback and bug-reports to our forum at
|
||||
|
||||
http://wenq.org/forum/
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to bitmap font development, we also develop
|
||||
vector fonts and other CJK-related resources at WenQuanYi.
|
||||

|
||||
useful to you.

III. About The WenQuanYi Project
|
||||
|
||||
The Wen Quan Yi Project was founded by Qianqian Fang[5] in
|
||||
Oct. 2004. The goal of this project is to develop CJK
|
||||
related open-source software and resources. The initial
|
||||
effots of the project focused on creating high quality
|
||||
bitmap character glyphs and outline fonts for all
|
||||
70,000+ CJK characters currently encoded by the
|
||||
Unicode Consortium [4].
|
||||
|
||||
The contributors of the Wen Quan Yi Project use wiki[1]
|
||||
as the primary development tool for glyph creation, documentation
|
||||
and coordinations. The Wen Quan Yi wiki (Habitat wiki:
|
||||
http://wenq.org/habitat/ ) was developed by Qianqian Fang
|
||||
based on UseModWiki v1.0.
|
||||
|
||||
For commercial use, please contact the project
|
||||
maintainer (Qianqian Fang) or consult copyright law firms to
|
||||
make sure your plan is compliant with the font licenses.
|
||||
Commercial licenses are also available upon request.
