List of CJK fonts

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

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 while the "script" is further divided into several Chinese script styles.

The fonts are then sorted by their target writing system:[Note 1]

[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. An Unicode font, which contains a wide range of Unicode's characters, may not be listed as a "pan-Unicode font", which is intended to globally support a wide range of Unicode's characters, if that Unicode font is targeted to one or a few writing systems.
