VERY LARGE COLLECTION OF ANIME FONTS

THIS IS VERY LARGE COLLECTION OF FONTS FROM ANIME OVER THE HISTORY OF ANIME SUBBING

Although Super Font Pack X can meet most of the subtitle playback needs, it is too large to install all of them, in fact, 90% of the subtitles only use 10% of them. Therefore, we have added a lite package in this update.

The Lite package is made according to the frequency of fonts appearing in the subtitles and the selection habits of each subtitle group in the later stage, while taking into account the needs of both simple and traditional users and the later stage of the subtitle process, and is sufficient for most situations.

The Lite package requires as few fonts as possible to meet as many needs as possible, while the Full package is designed to meet all needs. In this update, we have further expanded the fonts from mainstream vendors and categorized them according to vendors and languages as well as the characteristics of different vendor font systems. The full package is recommended to be used as a repository with the three included widgets, rather than installing them all.

FontLoader is a temporary font loading tool, dragging fonts up will load them, and closing the program will unload them automatically.

ListAssFonts is a small tool made by tonyhsie, a VCB-Studio forum user, which can list the fonts used in ass/ssa subtitles and distinguish them by color whether they are installed or not, as well as list all the fonts installed on the system and export the font files, and export the part of the subtitles that may be missing in traditional systems. For more details, please check the original author's post (http://bbs.vcb-s.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1894).

FontLoaderSub is a small tool made by yzwduck, a VCB-Studio forum user. Put the program into the folder where the fonts are located, then drag the folder where ass/ssa subtitles or subtitles are located onto the program, it will automatically load the fonts used in the subtitles, and close the program to unload the temporarily loaded fonts. Please check the original author's release post (http://bbs.vcb-s.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3848) for more details.

The above three widgets may be reported by anti-virus software, please add trust.

How to choose the right font is a big headache for subtitle post, so we also included a "Recommended Table for Matching Chinese and Japanese Fonts" and font samples from many manufacturers for subtitle post reference.

Thanks to the software authors, font and table providers, and the bigwigs who helped in the compilation process.

1. Why is it better not to overwrite the system fonts if they are prompted to be installed? System fonts and interface fonts of some software have requirements on version, if you replace them with another version, it may lead to system or software interface misalignment or even crash.

2. Why is it recommended to choose "Install for all users" when installing fonts? Windows 10 allows users to install fonts to their user accounts since version 1809, and the default "Install" option is replaced with this new installation method, while the old installation method is changed to "Install for all users" ( The option is in the right click menu), but many software (such as Aegisub) do not support this new installation method and cannot recognize the fonts installed by this new method.

3. What are the effects of having too many fonts installed? Some software requires fonts to be pre-reading at startup, they may take longer to start and may lag when selecting fonts, such as Aegisub and Office.

4. Why some web pages don't display properly after installing fonts? Some websites give higher priority to certain fonts, and this will lead to two situations, one is that these fonts render differently on Windows and Mac, they may look better on Mac, but faint on Windows; another situation is that there are missing characters, for example, if a website gives higher priority to a Japanese font, and you choose Chinese as the language, then both Chinese and Japanese If a website gives a higher priority to a Japanese font, and the language you choose is Chinese, then the words in both Chinese and Japanese will be displayed in this font, and the words in Chinese that are not in Japanese are in another font or cannot be displayed. The solution to this problem is to install a font management plug-in to your browser to adjust the priority of web fonts, or uninstall the font that causes the problem. The most common font that causes this problem is Hiragino Sans GB (also known as Holly Black, Apple Black).

Why some fonts cannot be installed? If you are using Windows 7/8/8.1, the font file may be wrong; if you are using Windows 10, and most of the fonts cannot be installed, it may be because the related service is not opened, please open the specific solution by Baidu/Google, if only a few fonts cannot be installed, it is likely that these fonts are not compatible with Windows 10, Winding has Many fonts are not compatible with Windows 10. 06.

My system disk space is tight and I don't want to install the fonts in the system disk, what should I do? You can also choose to "Install as shortcut". You have to check "Allow installation of fonts as shortcuts" in "Control Panel/Personalization/Fonts/Font Settings". This way, the installation in the system disk is only a shortcut, the fonts are still in the original location, but the system may scan your font files again after the boot, so the ten seconds after the boot may be a bit stuck, and the path where you store the fonts can not be changed (if you want to change, the system will indicate that the folder is in use).

7. What is the difference between OTF, TTF and TTC fonts? TTC fonts are a collection of multiple fonts (either TTF or OTF). OTF fonts have theoretically better curves and some advanced features, but the only software that is known to fully support OTF advanced features is Adobe series and professional design software such as C4D and Maya. In addition, OTF fonts do not display as well as TTF fonts in GDI (including ClearType) rendering, which is still heavily used on Windows. Only a few fonts (such as SiYuan Black, SiYuan Song, Founder Yashi Black, etc.) will automatically call Bold weight fonts when setting boldness in the subtitles, and the characteristics of these fonts are These fonts have the same name in the drop-down list of Regular and Bold, you need to select the name of Regular and then check Bold in Aegisub to call Bold, of course you can also call Bold by manually entering the name of Bold, for example "Siyuan Song Bold". OTF fonts with the same font size will be smaller than TTF fonts. So we recommend to install and use TTF version when a font has both OTF and TTF versions. (Note: Although the names of TTF and OTF do correspond to TrueType and OpenType respectively, the common TTF font nowadays is the TrueType Outline font of OpenType Layout, while the OTF font is actually the PostScript Outline font of OpenType Layout. (Outline font.) 08.

8. What is the difference between CJK version and regional version? The same Chinese character may be written differently in different regions such as Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, etc. The CJK version contains all characters of Simplified, Traditional, Japanese and Korean, but when you encounter Chinese characters written differently in different regions, it will display the glyphs of one of the regions first, while the regional version contains only the characters of that region. In addition, the font standard of Hong Kong Traditional Chinese has been revised, so there are new and old glyphs in the font package. Therefore, we recommend using the CJK version or regional version of the target region in preference to any CJK version when creating subtitles, even though it already contains all characters.

9. What are Pro-6(N), Pro-5(N), Std(N), GB18030, GBK, GB2312-80, GB12345-90, and BIG5? Pro-6(N), Pro-5(N), Std(N) are Japanese standards, GB18030, GBK, GB2312-80, GB12345-90 are Simplified Chinese standards, where GB12345-90 is a standard for losing simple characters to traditional Chinese, and BIG5 is a standard for Traditional Chinese. In terms of the number of characters included in Pro-6(N) > Pro-5(N) > Std(N), GB18030 > GBK > GB2312-80, it is generally believed that GB18030 and GBK contain enough simplified characters and traditional characters to be used in both simplified and traditional Chinese.

What is "pseudo GBK"? "Pseudo GBK" are those fonts that claim to be commonly used, but actually fall far short of the number of characters specified in the GBK standard.

11. A font has both Pro-6(N), Pro-5(N) and Std(N) versions, can I install only one of them? If you are using it to create subtitles, you only need to install the version with the most characters, but if you are using it to play subtitles made by others, only the version written in the subtitles can be called, because ass/ssa subtitles load fonts according to font names, and the font names of different character set versions are different. gb18030, GBK, GB2312-80, GB12345-90, BIG GB12345-90, BIG5, etc. also apply this rule. The font package keeps both the new version and old version of Font Maker and the Bold version 1.004 and 2.001 of Siyuan Black also because they have different names. In addition, Google's Noto series fonts are Adobe's Siyuan series fonts, but their names are different, they are also retained. 12.

12. What are the "Bibros" and "Person Mark" of Wahkon? The "Bibros" are characters such as graphics, symbols, rare characters, and combinations of characters, which are already included in the Pro-6(N) standard. The "Personality Notation Characters" include different variants of Japanese kanji, which are mainly used for personal names. 13.
