Fonts Approved by PRC

Two Chinese-based standards groups - the Committee on Information Technology Standards (CITS) and the State Language Committee (SLC) - have given their approval to a group of Monotype Imaging multilingual fonts for distribution within the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

The Chinese fonts are from Monotype Imaging’s World Language Font Catalog and include full support for Chinese character set standards, including GB 2312 and GB 18030. The PRC government requires that any language-related software applications introduced into the Chinese marketplace support all characters in the GB 18030 standard according to PRC guidelines. The CITS and SLC have been chartered by the PRC government to ensure product compliance. The following chart outlines character support and availability of each font:
