source-han-sans VS source-code-pro

Moreover, I see a roughly 50/50 split of the glyph standard in traditional Chinese texts; it is not uncommon for "Jiu Zixing" and Taiwan MOE styles to appear on the same page. The HK version (middle) is a recent addition per the "Splitting TWHK into TW & HK" issue on GitHub. I have never seen any print text following the HK standard, though you may see them occasionally in online media due to preinstalled HK fonts such as PingFang or Noto Sans.

Babelstone Han or [Source Han Sans](https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans} are probably your best bets? Couldn't find any other typefaces that might cover obscure characters like these

Try Source Han fonts (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-serif) from Google/Adobe. It's the default font on Android and should display it wonderfully: 𰻝 (simplified) or 𰻞 (traditional).

I believe Windows's approach is localisation not globalisation. Many programmes runs properly only in designed locales, not that programmes run well in any locale.

Chinese/Korean rendered incorrectly on English UI because system hardcoded a font fallback, which put Japanese font first, regardless of how languages are ordered in the Settings. This is largely true for traditional Win32 programmes, like Chrome, Edge, Explorer.exe, etc. However UWP apps using the new UI framework (like Unigram, Intel Command Centre etc) behave correctly if setting Chinese/Korean as secondary language.

It's different on macOS or iOS however, if you set a system locale order as 1. English, 2. Chinese, then Chinese content will render correctly with correct Chinese system font PingFang.

Another issue that is also very important is that Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Korean and Japanese share amount of the same characters but written differently. That means system must render the glyph in correct variant, like in the example of Source Han Sans

According to people from adobe its even a JIS standard to make those two kanji narrower

Hack is very underrated and awesome. Fira Code is nice, so is Adobe Source Code Pro [0], and Iosevka [1]. Yet, Berkeley is truly at its own level.

I've been using the free Source Code Pro (GitHub source). While it works well for coding of course, I find it is also pleasing to read from for large quantities of text. The characters are distinct (no confusion between 0O lI etc.) but understated, which is what you want for something you read thousands of words with every day.

Adobe has published several open-source fonts in their Source Sans family, and this one is monospaced and made explicitly for UI. Though the regular weight will work for most programming applications, a range of weights is available if you need them.

I prefer Source Code Pro for the terminal:

I went with Fira Code, but Source Code Pro is also good. More good fonts.

A couple of typefaces, comic neue and adobe source code pro - these are just hyperlinks; I don't install these automatically for some reason -

Source Code

Remove the package then download the VAR archive from their Github and extract the .ttf files to ~/.local/share/fonts or ~/.fonts
