List of CJK fonts

This is a list of notable CJK fonts (computer fonts which contain 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". In this article, the two first classes are named Ming and sans-serif (gothic) while the "script" is further divided 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
• 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[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

[F] means this font is free and open-source software (FOSS); [F] means it was formerly seen as FOSS but has been involved in a legal controversy.

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)
