Hi everybody, During the past days, WenQuanYi Project has made big progress on their WenQuanYi Zenhei font. They have just released a stable version 0.8.38 (Codename:Pangu). I wonder if it is possible to get it in wesnoth 1.6.
I have little time playing (or testing) this game, but according to some Chinese players, this font does show characters better, most importantly, clearer than previous one. Now since this font also contains Japanese characters, if anyone can test how well/bad it is for displaying Japanese, I would appreciate it. Zenhei 0.8.38 download link is here [1]. Release page here [2]. Zenhei font has a size 6.9MB as tar.gz and 13MB as plain ttf. If this one is too big to get into source, I'll have to give up and would like to recommend a still developing font named WenQuanYi Micro Hei. It is a new Sans Serif CJK font derived from Google "Droid Sans Fallback". It's very compact (1.8MB in tar.gz), but now it covers all characters in Unicode 5.1. The developers and volunteers are busy working on it to make it show better though. Micro Hei font has a size 1.8MB as tar.gz and 4MB as plain ttf. Micro Hei is still under developing, you can get nightly-build version at their forum here [3]. (register required to download) Below is a introduction of Zen Hei, from latest stable package: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WenQuanYi Zen Hei is a Hei-Ti style (sans-serif type) Chinese outline font. It is designed for general purpose text formatting and on-screen display of Chinese characters and symbols from many other languages. The embolden strokes of the font glyphs produces enhanced screen contrast, making it easier to read recognize. The embedded bitmap glyphs further enhance on-screen performance, which can be enabled with the provided configuration files. WenQuanYi Zen Hei provides a fairly complete coverage to Chinese Hanzi glyphs, including both simplified and traditional forms. The total glyph number in this font is over 35,000, including over 21,000 Chinese Hanzi. This font has full coverage to GBK(CP936) charset, CJK Unified Ideographs, as well as the code-points needed for zh_cn, zh_sg, zh_tw, zh_hk, zh_mo, ja (Japanese) and ko (Korean) locales for fontconfig. Starting from version 0.8, this font package has contained two font families, i.e. the proportionally-spaced Zen Hei, and a mono-spaced face named "WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono".
