WenQuanYi Zen Hei [Qianqian Fang]
The embedded WenQuanYi bitmap song fonts were developed by WenQuanYi contributors and Qianqian Fang based on the bitmap fonts by firefly. WenQuanYi Zen Hei contains arguably the largest number of Chinese Hanzi glyphs of all known open-source outline Chinese fonts: it has 20194 Hanzi glyphs covering 97% of the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographics. This font has covered over 46000 Unicode code points in BMP. It is intended to supersede the outdated GNU Unifont. This font was created by merging the latest update of GNU Unifont GPL (by Roman Czyborra and David Starner et al., the font was last updated in 2004), WenQuanYi Bitmap Song GPL 0.8.1 (by Qianqian Fang and WenQuanYi contributors.
