Chinese fonts in Windows

In the previous article, I talked about the Chinese font in Silverlight. Now I want to talk about the Chinese font in windows.

 

By default, if you have not installed any text processing software, such as a new font or an office, Windows provides the following fonts by default:

Windows 95/98/98SE,, _ gb2312, and _gb2312
Windows XP/2000/2003/ME/NT /,, _ gb2312, _ gb2312 (Windows XP SP3 --PUA)
Windows Vista/7/2008 /, simsun-extb

 

So what Chinese characters can be displayed in each font?

In Windows before Vista,/and support the GBK 1.0 character set,
_ Gb2312, Imitation Song _ gb2312 support GB2312-80 character set.
(Note: Windows 3.x only supports the GB2312-80 Character Set)

 

In Vista and later windows, /, supports the GB18030-2000 character set,
Simsun-extb supports only part B of the GB18030-2005 Character Set extension.

 

The following is a brief introduction to character sets:
GB2312-80 <GBK 1.0 <GB18030-2000 <GB18030-2005
The minimum number of characters in the GB2312-80 and the maximum number of GB18030-2005 characters.

GB2312-80 is the earliest version, with fewer characters;
The number of Chinese Characters in GBK 1.0 is roughly the same as that in Unicode 1.1;
The number of Chinese characters in the GB18030-2000 is roughly the same as the number of Chinese Characters in Unicode 3.0;
The number of Chinese characters in the GB18030-2005 is roughly the same as the number of Chinese Characters in Unicode 4.1, which mainly adds Part B;
Due to the release of Unicode 5.2, it is estimated that the new version of gb18030 will be released in the near future, and the C part will be added.
It should be noted that extending part B in gb18030 is not a mandatory standard.
If you want to view the standard text for gb18030, visit the strong mark reading in the http://www.gb168.cn.

Correct a common error on the Internet:
The GB18030-2000 and GB18030-2005 do not support the single-byte euro symbol € (0x80), only the GBK 1.0 support, as can be learned from the standard original.

Test code

  //  GBKCodePage 936 (default)  
 String  Euro1  =  Encoding. getencoding (  936  ). Getstring (  New     Byte  [] {  0x80  });
  //  The code page of gb18030 is 54936.
  //  What is displayed in euro2?  
 String  Euro2  =  Encoding. getencoding (  54936  ). Getstring (  New     Byte  [] {  0x80  }); 

 

The generation page related to simplified Chinese is as follows:
936 gb2312 Simplified Chinese (gb2312) ---- actually GBK
10008 X-Mac-chinesesimp Simplified Chinese (MAC)
20936 x-cp20936 Simplified Chinese (GB2312-80)
50227 x-cp50227 Simplified Chinese (ISO-2022)
51936 EUC-CN Simplified Chinese (EUC)
52936 hz-gb-2312 Simplified Chinese (HZ)
54936 gb18030 Simplified Chinese (gb18030)

I just thought of it, but I forgot to write it.

After the _ _gb2312 and _gb2312 are used, the corresponding font may not be displayed in Windows 7/Vista/2008.

This is because in Windows 7, Vista, and 2008, there are two types of fonts, namely _ gb2312 and _ gb2312 by default. The font name is different from "_ gb2312 ".
