What happens when Chinese have to print in Russian (weird font) | June 19 2024, 15:26

Today, there were reports about a visit to the sun-great by the sun-great, and there were banners with text on the streets.

And it made me think, why do the Chinese love to write everything in Cyrillic with this idiotic font, and where did it even come from? There are so many fonts nowadays.

It turns out that Adobe and Microsoft are to blame. They included very poorly drawn fonts in their packages. And since the Chinese characters are of very good quality, the font is used everywhere, but the Cyrillic and even the Latin are just there for show. The main culprits are three – Adobe Ming Std L, Adobe Myungjo Std M (also called Adobe Ming), Adobe Song Std L. The most “eye-straining” one is Adobe Ming. With Latin, it’s more or less okay, but it seems that the Cyrillic was drawn by the Chinese themselves at the dawn of computer fonts, and it has not changed since then.
