Please add the CJK tag. Thank you.

@NightFurySL2001 sadly we have a font family name overlap (#5103). Would you consider an alternative name for your project?

NightFurySL2001 commented 2 years ago

Sorry, but this is a team project and we can't change the font name as it is already publicly released for the Chinese community on other platforms. However, if it is allowed to add a trademark to the font to differentiate the name I might be able to do so.

Please do note though that that issue is submitted later than this issue and that font is still a private work in progress project, so it would make more sense instead to request that author to change their font name.

Since the names are not technically the same, and neither can change - Unbounded, Unbounded Sans - then I am OK onboarding both as-is.

NightFurySL2001 commented 1 year ago

@davelab6 If it helps with seperation, I can modify the font name to include a regional/language suffix. Example (in preference order): SC (Simplified Chinese), CN (Chinese/China), ZHS (OpenType language tag for Chinese (Simplified)). [P/S: we might make a Traditional Chinese version of the same font too.]

davelab6 commented 5 months ago

Adding SC would help :)

NightFurySL2001 commented 5 months ago

@davelab6 sure thing, I'll try to get a new version released soon with SC. Do note that this is an exception and we will not comply with further name changes in case of crashing (such as small caps).
