Have Fun With Chinese Characters!
We are providing some Chinese characters from our high quality fonts for
your fun. CH_K.PFB contains 94 modern (or simplified,'short') Chinese
characters in Kaishu style (the printed style that is closest to brush
writing) from our OUTLINE fonts. If you are Chinese or like to add an
exotic touch to your greeting cards, invitations, titles etc., you'll
find them pleasant and useful.
WHO ARE WE
-- SPRING SYSTEM, Germany and OMNIGENA Co, Taiwan, a joint venture for
Chinese software development, are now designing a series of
intelligent Chinese software suitable not only for native speakers
or users of Chinese, but even for beginner learners of the language.
-- Our SPRING TEXTSYSTEM 2.3 (available since Dec 1990) is a Chinese word
processor that is based on keyboard sound input, and you only need to
type in the accurate sound, in Pinyin or Zhuyin of Chinese compounds
(less the tones) to have the characters generated by the system.
(see Appendix)
-- We are also completing our outline fonts project, to provide the
highest quality fonts available on the market. Our complete set
of fonts include both the Jiantizi ('modern', 'simplified', or 'short'
characters used in mainland China and Singapore) and Fantizi
('classical', 'full', or 'long' characters used in Taiwan and
Hong Kong).
-- We are now going heavily into developing a Chinese database management
software, your ideas and opinions are greatly appreciated.
-- Please contact us under the following addresses, if you'd like to
request any improvement on the font we provide here, or if you'd like
to know more about us:

1. Hanzi-Kaishu public domain software and copyrighted by
SPRING System. That is to say, you are free to downlaod their contents
from the network, copy and distribute them. You can also apply them for
any non-commercial use. But you may not, without previous consent from
SPRING System, to include their contents in any commerical product or
commercial demo programs, electronic device or otherwise.
2. The format of the outline fonts is based on Postscript Level 2.0 and
Adobe Type 1 Font Format. We understand that Adobe has put in some new
commands in their latest versions to make the printing of oriental
charaters easier, these commands by themselves are nevertheless far
from sufficient to produce high-quality Chinese characters in print.
This makes it impossible for us to include all our design parameters
in the font in question. We also haven't included the Stem Hints
commands here, since the font provided is meant for large characters
only. Users should choose a size above 16 pt (180 dpi) or 14 pt
(300 dpi).
