Introducing Noto Serif CJK 1.000
This introduces a serif-style companion to Noto Sans CJK. These fonts are again offered in seven weights, though they are slightly different
The packaging options are the same as for the Sans: you can choose from an all-in-one CJK TTC, seven weight-specific CJK TTCs, twenty-eight CJK OTF files (four languages x seven weights) that default to one of the four supported languages, and twenty-eight region-specific OTF files (four regions x seven weights) that support a region-specific subset of the full character repertoire.
The character repertoire is shared among all the Serif CJK fonts but there are slight differences between them and the Sans CJK. About 50 characters, mostly new in Unicode 8.0 and 9.0, have been added, and about 1700 Plane 2 characters (mostly CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B) have been temporarily removed (Hong Kong support will be added in Version 2.000). The Serif CJK fonts support approximately 43,000 characters with 65535 glyphs, the maximum number of glyphs possible in a single font. Most of the additional glyphs are regional variants, there are also specific japanese variants, ideographic variation sequences, vertical variants, precomposed Korean Jamo, and others.
As with Sans CJK, Noto Serif CJK was developed under an open source license by Adobe Systems, Inc. and is almost identical to their Source Han Serif. Please see the detailed Adobe release notes for more information.
Noto Serif CJK is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.
