Microsoft YaHei UI, a version of Microsoft YaHei with alternate character design and reduced line height, was introduced with Windows 8. Semilight, Semibold and Heavy weight fonts were introduced with Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018 Update). It supports the GBK character set, with localized glyphs. 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 is also included in the Simplified Chinese version of Microsoft Office 2007.ĭownloading and installing the Simplified Chinese ClearType fonts for Windows XP from Microsoft also made Microsoft YaHei available on Windows XP. It aims to be more legible than its SimSun predecessor when used with ClearType. 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.
OpenType features include vertical writing. 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. 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. 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. for a ClearType font for use in the simplified Chinese version of Windows Vista as default font. Development ĭevelopment began in 2004 when Microsoft commissioned Beijing Founder Electronics Co., Ltd. The CJK ideographic characters were designed by the Founder Electronics foundry's senior designer, Li Qi (齐立). Hinting for the font was undertaken by Monotype Imaging. Microsoft YaHei (in Chinese: 微软雅黑 pinyin: Wēiruǎn Yǎhēi) is a sans-serif gothic typeface created by Founder Electronics and Monotype Corporation under commission from Microsoft.
