Scriptwide Kyokasho CJK

CJK font based on Klee One Semibold and its derivatives

This font is licensed under OFL.

Description

Low effort amalgamation of several Klee One-derived fonts with some minute edits.

Glyphs do not necessarily follow any source, but most of them should follow the J-source or G-source.

Who asked?

  1. Why does Scriptwide Kyokasho CJK consist of 2 fonts?
  • One font file can only support 65535 glyphs, therefore the font has to be split to accommodate future additions.
  1. Why not 3 fonts?
  • Bad question.
  1. Is this README file copied from Scriptwide Sans CJK?
  • Yes.
  1. Can I expand on this font?
  • Yes, unless you violate the OFL. You probably won't if you're being reasonable.
  1. Aren't there less characters compared to LXGW WenKai?
  • Those are AI placeholder characters produced through zi2zi. To maximise quality and to avoid confusion I have removed them. Newer glyphs may still be traced from these AI characters.
  1. Why isn't this classified as a Kai font?
  • This is to differentiate the font from proper Kai fonts like TW-Kai. Contrary to popular belief, Klee One is more similar to kyokasho-tai compared to Kai script. However, kyokasho-tai itself is based on Kai script.

You may:

  • Install these fonts.
  • Modify these fonts.

    • There are many online merchants (typically on Taobao) illegally reselling OFL fonts. No matter the original creator of the fonts, please refrain from purchasing from these resellers, as sellings fonts directly is a serious violation of the OFL.
