This page provides a list of fonts provided by the Windows7/8 and Mac OS X SnowLeopard/Lion operating systems, grouped by script. This kind of list could be used to set font-family styles for CSS, if you want to be reasonably sure what someone reading a page will see, or it could be used just to find a font you like for a particular script. I'm still working on the list, and there are some caveats – see the notes at the end of the page.

In this case, the main font is Verdana and if this is not available, your browser will use the fallback value.So, the first fallback is Arial.If this font is also not supported by your browser, it will use the Tahoma font and if this font is also not supported, then the browser of the user will set the Serif font.

Notes

Some of the fonts listed above may be disabled on the user's system. I'm making an assumption that someone who reads Tibetan will have the Tibetan font turned on, but for my articles that explain writing systems to people in English, such assumptions may not hold.

The list I used to identify Windows7 fonts should be fairly stable, as is the companion list for Windows8, but the Mac font spans more than one version of Mac OS X, and I could only find an unofficial list of fonts for Snow Leopard, and there were some fonts on that list that I didn't have on my system.See the official list of fonts on Mac OS X Lion. Where a Mac font is new with Lion or Windows8 (and there are a significant number) it is indicated.

This list is aimed at end users. For application developers, it is considered poor practice to reference fonts bundled in the OS by name, and they should instead reference fonts through the use of 'get system font' or 'get application font' APIs that select fonts based on language or script. Doing so effectively insulates application developers from font changes across different versions of the OS.

There shouldn't be any fonts listed here for a given script that aren't supplied with Windows7/8 or Mac OS X Snow Leopard/Lion, but there are probably supplied fonts that are not yet listed here (typically these will be large fonts that cover multiple scripts). In particular, note that I haven't yet made a list of fonts that support Latin, Greek and Cyrillic (mainly because there are so many of them and partly because I'm wondering how useful it will be.)

Microsoft Yahei Ui Light

The text used is as much as would fit on one line of article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, taken from this Unicode page, wherever I could find it. I created a few instances myself, where it was missing, and occasionally I resorted to arbitrary lists of characters.

You can obtain a character-based version of the text used by looking at the source text: look for the title attribute on the section heading.

Things to do:

• create sections for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic fonts
• figure out how to tell, and how to show which is the system default
• work out and show what's not available in Windows XP
• figure out whether people with different locale setups see different things
• check which fonts don't work in all browsers
• add information about which fonts don't include A-Za-z

Microsoft YaHei (Chinese: 微软雅黑; pinyin: Wēiruǎn Yǎhēi) is a sans-serifgothictypeface created by Founder Electronics and Monotype Corporation under commission from Microsoft. Hinting for the font was undertaken by Monotype Imaging.^[1] The CJK ideographic characters were designed by the Founder Electronics foundry's senior designer, Li Qi (齐立).^[2][3]

Development[edit]

Development began in 2004 when Microsoft commissioned Beijing Founder Electronics Co., Ltd. for a ClearType font for use in the simplified Chinese version of Windows Vista as default font.^[4]

The ideographs in YaHei were based on a previous sans-serif font family the same designer had made in the early 1990s which, like YaHei, did not feature flared stroke terminals. Changes to the prototype fonts include redesigning the hook stroke with a longer end, the addition of 'foot' ending stroke terminal, readjusting the black and white proportions of glyphs, the introduction of dents in stroke path outlines that intersect other stroke path outlines, and flattening the diagonal dot stroke top at the top of the glyph. YaHei is optimized for screen use.^[5]

Microsoft YaHei[edit]

The font family originally includes two fonts in regular and bold weights: named MSYH.TTF and 'Microsoft YaHei Bold' in a separate file, MSYHBD.TTF. OpenType features include vertical writing.

Microsoft YaHei has been distributed with Windows since Windows Vista, and is the default user interface font when the language is set to Simplified Chinese. It aims to be more legible than its SimSun predecessor when used with ClearType. It is also included in the Simplified Chinese version of Microsoft Office2007.

Downloading and installing the Simplified Chinese ClearType fonts for Windows XP from Microsoft also makes Microsoft YaHei available on Windows XP.^[6]

The font file contains all 20,902 original CJK Unified Ideographs code points specified in Unicode, plus approximately 80 code points defined by the Standardization Administration of China. It supports the GBK character set, with localized glyphs.

Semilight, Semibold and Heavy weight fonts were introduced with Windows 10 Redstone 4 (Spring Creators update).^[7]

Microsoft YaHei UI[edit]

Microsoft YaHei UI, a version of Microsoft YaHei with alternate character design and reduced line height, was introduced with Windows 8.^[8] As part of Microsoft YaHei update, Microsoft YaHei UI is included in a TTC file along with Microsoft YaHei.

Founder Electronics versions[edit]

Founder Electronics versions of the fonts are released in various character sets depending on family: GB2312-80(with simplified Chinese characters), GB12345-90(with traditional Chinese characters), GBK(with simplified and traditional Chinese characters), BIG-5(for Hong Kong and Taiwan region), GB18030-2000(includes GBK and all Big-5 characters mapped to Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs and Extension A).

FZLanTingHei (2006)[edit]

FZLanTingHei (方正兰亭黑) is a Founder Electronics variant based on the Microsoft YaHei, but the Latin glyphs were changed to resemble Arial. FZLanTingHei-DB and FZLanTingHei-B correspond to the font weights of YaHei and YaHei Bold respectively.

The family includes 14 font styles in 10 weights and 3 widths, with condensed and extended widths for H width R weights. Released character set fonts include GB2312-80, GB12345-90, GBK, BIG-5, GB18030-2000.

FZLanTingKanHei (2009)[edit]

FZLanTingHei (方正兰亭刊黑) is based on FZLanTingHei, but designed for printing.

The family includes 1 font styles in 1 weight and 1 width, with font weight equal to EL and middle width from FZLanTingHei. Released character set fonts include GB2312-80, GB12345-90, GBK.

FZLanTingYuan (2014)[edit]

FZLanTingYuan (方正兰亭圆) is based on FZLanTingHei, with rounded terminals and corners and elimination of 'foot' stroke terminals. Latin glyphs were changed for lowercase a, g to be less like Arial. Designers included Cui Yan, Han Chunli, Zhang Zhang, Shao Wei, Yan Yao, Li Xueying, Wang Ji(Jie?), Zhao Yue, He Yuan.

The family includes 9 font styles in 9 weights (H, EB, B, DB1, DB, M, R, L, EL) and 1 width (medium). Released character set fonts include GB2312-80, GB12345-90, GBK.

Awards[edit]

FZLanTingHei won bronze prize for the 2009 DFA Design for Asia Award.^[9]
