- Have Fun With Chinese Characters!
-
- We are providing some Chinese characters from our high quality fonts for
- your fun. CH_K.PFB contains 94 modern (or simplified,'short') Chinese
- characters in Kaishu style (the printed style that is closest to brush
- writing) from our OUTLINE fonts. If you are Chinese or like to add an
- exotic touch to your greeting cards, invitations, titles etc., you'll
- find them pleasant and useful.
-
- WHO ARE WE
-
- -- SPRING SYSTEM, Germany and OMNIGENA Co, Taiwan, a joint venture for
- Chinese software development, are now designing a series of
- intelligent Chinese software suitable not only for native speakers
- or users of Chinese, but even for beginner learners of the language.
-
- -- Our SPRING TEXTSYSTEM 2.3 (available since Dec 1990) is a Chinese word
- processor that is based on keyboard sound input, and you only need to
- type in the accurate sound, in Pinyin or Zhuyin of Chinese compounds
- (less the tones) to have the characters generated by the system.
- (see Appendix)
-
- -- We are also completing our outline fonts project, to provide the
- highest quality fonts available on the market. Our complete set
- of fonts include both the Jiantizi ('modern', 'simplified', or 'short'
- characters used in mainland China and Singapore) and Fantizi
- ('classical', 'full', or 'long' characters used in Taiwan and
- Hong Kong).
-
- -- We are now going heavily into developing a Chinese database management
- software, your ideas and opinions are greatly appreciated.
-
- -- Please contact us under the following addresses, if you'd like to
- request any improvement on the font we provide here, or if you'd like
- to know more about us:

-
- 2. The format of the outline fonts is based on Postscript Level 2.0 and
- Adobe Type 1 Font Format. We understand that Adobe has put in some new
- commands in their latest versions to make the printing of oriental
- charaters easier, these commands by themselves are nevertheless far
- from sufficient to produce high-quality Chinese characters in print.
- This makes it impossible for us to include all our design parameters
- in the font in question. We also haven't included the Stem Hints
- commands here, since the font provided is meant for large characters
- only. Users should choose a size above 16 pt (180 dpi) or 14 pt
- (300 dpi).
