Kochi Font - Kochi-Substitute Character Sources

Kochi-Substitute Character Sources

The outlines of kana and Latin glyphs in Kochi Gothic come from the old Kochi font project for kana and Latin-based characters. Greek and Cyrillic glyphs were built specifically for Kochi-Substitute by Uchida (内田).

For other characters, Kochi Mincho uses the Wadalab Mincho (和田研明朝) outline.

Kochi Gothic uses Wadalab Gothic for JIS X 0208 characters and Wadalab Maru for JIS X 0212 characters.

Kochi Gothic uses embedded bitmaps from following:

• Naga 10 for 10-pixel font, Shinonome12 for 12-pixel font, k14goth for 14-pixel font, Shinonome 16 for 16-pixel font, Ayu 20dot Font (東風) for 20-pixel font.

Kochi Mincho uses embedded bitmaps from following:

• Naga 10 for 10-pixel font, Shinonome12 for 12-pixel font, Tachibana font (橘フォント, k14) for 14-pixel font, Shinonome 16 for 16-pixel font, Kappa 20dot Font for 20-pixel font.

Each font contains 15365 glyphs (14755 characters). Many characters (including most Latin-1 Supplement characters) are, however, not visible.
