Stroke-Based CJK Fonts
Our
stroke-based Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) fonts work with
Font Fusion, our premier font rasterizing engine. Our code is very
compact. For instance, the Font Fusion engine and a Traditional
Chinese stroke-based font containing over 13,500 characters occupies
less than 0.5 MB!
Compact Fonts
Stroke-based fonts are perfect for memory-constrained devices and
applications. They are very compact. For instance, a stroke-based
font with over 13,850 characters takes up less than 0.5 MB. To put
it another way, a typical stroke-based font is the same size as
one 16x16, monochrome bitmap font!
High-Quality, Scalable Output
Our stroke-based characters are fully scaleable, unlike bitmaps.
Note that you cannot scale bitmaps, anti-alias bitmapped characters,
or optimize bitmaps for different displays, such as LCDs, TVs, personal
digital assistants, or handheld PCs. Unlike bitmaps, our stroke-based
characters improve legibility and readability: you can scale, anti-alias,
and fine tune them for different displays.

Updateable Code
Because our stroke-based fonts are compact, you can store them in
flash ROM and update them as needed.
Portability to Any Device or Application
Font Fusion and our stroke-based fonts can run on personal digital
assistants, handheld PCs, wireless Internet devices, set-top boxes,
embedded systems, and Internet appliances.
