the "hinting information" in our webpage was referred to the hinting for Latin/extended Latin glyphs, not CJK. We mentioned it because Droid Sans Fallback, from which our CJK glyphs were derived, does not even have hinting for Latin glyphs.
Hi, Fanq, Pretty clear, thanks.
As far as I know, there is no open source Chinese font that contains hinting for Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja. Even in the commercial fonts, CJK glyph hinting is very rare. In fact, the only one that I know, Microsoft Yahei, costs about $100 per glyph. I personally do not like it much as the strokes look distorted. If one like sharp rendering, he/she should try WQY Zen Hei Sharp. It has hand-made embedded bitmaps at all screen sizes.
Ok, we'll gave it a try. And another question: We just set WQY Micro Hei as the default Chinese font for our distribution openSUSE 12.2. (That's why we care about its technical details...Actually I'm also a wqy contributor who makes few Micro Hei online. Nice tool BTW. Which one among wqy series do you think has the best performance for screen display like menus, toolbars etc? I myself think everyone of them is outstanding among Chinese fonts(I'm a YaHei hater too), but we do have to choose the best...so "editors' choice", please?
