Hi! I am starting a new series on printing orthography, and I hope this will give all of us some guidelines on how Chinese characters can be written/displayed. [Record 1] 印,as in print.
The fonts used for the printing font (p) is Source Han Serif, and the fonts used for the writing font (w) is based on Klee One. Modified versions of the fonts such as LXGW Wenkai (for CN), LXGW Wenkai TC (for IH), Iansui (for TW/HK), and Klee TC (for IH) are used. Glyphs might be modified to adhere to the standards.

Reading on a rainy afternoon (I just love photos of Kindle with a view)
I side-loaded this font called LXGWWenKai or 霞鹜文楷 and changed the bold setting to 1.

[Record 34] Forgot about the series, have a 忘 for my memory!
The best to follow currently for printing form is Inherited Glyphs since it is a rigid standard that can easily be accessed from. The full document is available on https://github.com/ichitenfont/inheritedglyphs

[Record 23] Seeing the next day yet? Check out 翌.
Inherited glyphs is an orthography document for Traditional Chinese following the traditional printing style with considerations to etymology. The document can be found on https://github.com/ichitenfont/inheritedglyphs . Hong Kong Education Bureau has produced their own educational orthography standard named 常用字字形表, references can be found on https://www.edbchinese.hk/lexlist_ch/index.jsp . I specified the education standard as it is the form being taught and familiarized by the young generation; another (slightly different) reference standard is produced by Hong Kong CLIAC at https://www.ccli.gov.hk/en/download/reference_glyphs.html (this is a reference standard and does not hold any legal effect compared to Education Bureau's).

For traditional printing orthography, I suggest checking Inherited Glyphs as they had compile all the past printing orthographies and sort through them, choosing forms that are suitable for modern usage with etymology in mind. Or, you can check 康熙字典 which is the de facto form for the past centuries.

I spent AGES trying to figure out what this character was. I felt so stupid because this is a graded reader and I'm supposed to already know it but it looked so unfamiliar. Turns out it's 冷!What even is this font omg?
Also, there is a form of orthography called 旧字形/传承字形 (jiu zixing/inherited orthography) that is the old form that was invented since the woodblock carving era. More information can be found on: https://github.com/ichitenfont/inheritedglyphs

Studying traditional characters? I ranked characters which have the most strokes in traditional compared to simplified to more easily study characters which look least like their simplified version. (Characters selected from top 1500 characters in JinbuPal corpus data)
