With Noto, the stylistic differences between that and the XinGothic font we're already using are pretty subtle, so the benefits to including it in Pleco are minimal in any case.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. (maybe at whatever beautiful distant future point we start requiring Android 6.)Īlso, legally distributing Arphic's fonts is iffy anyway - they've been released under a couple of different licenses but it seems like Arphic's current attitude is that they don't want them getting used commercially and we'd rather not run afoul of that.
So it's too much of a support + pissed-off user risk to for us to consider making it accessible to non-technical users. Neither of these fonts works reliably on all devices, that's the problem - on some devices, in fact, they get Pleco stuck in a perpetual crashing loop, one which (because it happens at the OS level) can't even be caught with an exception, so all we could do is notice we're in a crashing loop + stop loading the font, but at that point people have already panicked and uninstalled our app or written support for help. Here how I exported Kaiti_SC (SC = Simplified Chinese) from OS X (El Capitan):
The Noto fonts from Google are also nice (but they are "heiti" style), especially they include different thicknesses, for example you can take light as "customize chinese font" and regular as "customize chinese bold font". install the font within Pleco: Settings > Fonts > Custom fonts > Customize Chinese Font For this, on a Mac, I used 'Android File Transfer' fromģ. So I switched to Kaiti_SC font from OS X El Capitan (see below for instructions).Ģ. However some characters weren't rendered correctly (for example 明确). It's a Kaiti font, it looks like brush.Īfter uncompressing, the font file is called "ukai.ttc".
