Technical notes

- font-display: swap plus system fallbacks balances FOUT and readability
- Check full-width punctuation width when mixing with English to avoid line jumps
FAQ
Do I need a separate subset for Traditional Chinese web fonts? ▼
Yes. TC common characters differ from SC—reusing CN subsets can cause missing glyphs or wrong forms. FontHubs provides TC-specific files.
Can I bundle PingFang TC for the web? ▼
No. PingFang is an Apple system font. Use Noto Sans TC or similar open fonts on the web and fallback to PingFang TC in font-family.
Is Sarasa Gothic CL good for marketing sites? ▼
Sarasa Gothic CL is crisp and modern—great for developer and technical products. Consumer brands may prefer Noto Sans TC or a custom brand face.
