List of CJK fonts

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 first four characters of Thousand Character Classic in different typeface styles, script styles and type styles. From left to right: sans-serif (gothic), Ming, regular script, clerical script and seal script

The fonts are then sorted by their target writing system:^{[Note 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, 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^{[Note 2]})
• Pan-CJK: intended to support the majority of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, and not specifically designed for any one of these writing systems

Notes

1. A font targeted to a writing system usually still contains glyphs in the other writing systems.
2. If a Unicode font (font containing a wide range of Unicode's characters) is targeted to one or a few writing systems, it will not be listed as a "pan-Unicode font" (font intended to globally support a wide range of Unicode's characters)
