Question of Glyph design principle. #52

Closed KazunariTsuboi closed 7 years ago

KazunariTsuboi commented 7 years ago

The Source Han Serif fonts are really easy to use. I appreciate this project. At the same time, I wanted to know about the character form principle of Source Hans Serif #TC. While using the fonts, I noticed that the Traditional Chinese characters seem different from the Source Han Sans fonts. For example, the left “radical” in 迌 (U+8FCC) is different between Sans and Serif. The same applies to逈(U+9008) and 迁 (U+8FC1). I want to use these fonts to the full, so I will appreciated it very much if I could know the Glyph design principle.

8fcc

U+8FCC is a character contained in HKSCS. Since HKSCS is out of the scope of the current version of Source Han Serif, no TC glyph for U+8FCC exists, and the one for China is used instead.

For Source Han Sans, HKSCS was in the scope, thus a TC glyph for U+8FCC exists.

@hfhchan is correct, and his reply is precisely what I would have written if I had not been asleep.
