Glyph issues regarding 彳(U+5F73), 民(U+6C11, TW & CN) and 魘 (U+9B58, JP & KR) #11

A. 彳 (U+5F73)

彳 (U+5F73) is a word, so its glyph is supposed to be centre-aligned instead of offseted to the left. The same happens to Source Han Sans and had been reported before.

shserif-5f73

B. 民 (U+6C11, TW & CN)

shserif-6c11

The overall position of 民 (U+6C11) in TW/CN stays the same as JP/KR despite the stroke difference. This causes the glyph look unbalaned. Again, this had also been reported before in the Source Han Sans issue tracker.

C. 魘 (U+9B58, JP & KR)

shserif-9f58

There is an issue with the interpolation of 魘 (U+9B58) for JP and KR.

Thank you. Yes, A and B are also on the hook for addressing in Source Han Sans. C has been confirmed.

The issue for 彳 U+5F73 is best addressed by shifting its glyph, uni5F73-CN, to be centered within the em-box. (It also may benefit from being made a bit wider.) The issue for 民 U+6C11 is more subtle, and requires that its glyph, uni6C11-CN, be better balanced within the em-box. I will leave the details to the discretion of the typeface designer.

Consolidated with Issue #39.
