Stroke-Based CJK Fonts

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.
