The opening of Lu Xun’s My Old Home (1921), in Traditional characters.

我冒了嚴寒，回到相隔二千餘里，別了二十餘年的故鄉去。時候既然是深冬；漸近故鄉時，天氣又陰晦了，冷風吹進船艙中，嗚嗚的響，從篷隙向外一望，蒼黃的天底下，遠近橫著幾個蕭索的荒村，沒有一些活氣。

05 / Questions

Questions about Fusion Pixel 12px TC

Answered from its licence and its font file

Is Fusion Pixel 12px TC free for commercial use?

Yes. Fusion Pixel 12px TC is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale: print, websites, apps, videos and logos, for clients and in products. What it forbids is selling the font file on its own.

How do I download and install Fusion Pixel 12px TC?

FontKind doesn’t host Fusion Pixel 12px TC’s files: it comes free from TakWolf’s repository on GitHub . Open its release there and download the font files. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.

Is Fusion Pixel 12px TC Simplified or Traditional Chinese?

Traditional: Fusion Pixel 12px TC draws the Traditional forms written in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, 21,943 characters in all. For the other set, see the Pixel fonts for Simplified Chinese.

How do I use Fusion Pixel 12px TC on a website?

Fusion Pixel 12px TC’s font file is large for a web page: 6.7 MB for the Regular file alone. So cut it down to the characters your pages use, a step called subsetting, and serve it as WOFF2: the SIL Open Font License allows that, under a name of your own if the font reserves its name.

Can Fusion Pixel 12px TC set vertical text?

Fusion Pixel 12px TC can, but without vertical forms: its file has no OpenType vert feature, so set vertically, its commas and full stops stay where horizontal text puts them. A browser turns its brackets itself. For vertical text, a font of its style that has them is Cubic 11.

Can I use Fusion Pixel 12px TC in a game or an app?

Yes. The SIL Open Font License lets you build Fusion Pixel 12px TC into a game, an app or an e-book, sold or free, with no separate licence to buy, as many paid fonts require. Ship its licence with the font files, and don’t sell the font on its own.

How many weights does Fusion Pixel 12px TC have?

Fusion Pixel 12px TC comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.

Does Fusion Pixel 12px TC have English letters?

Yes: Fusion Pixel 12px TC draws all 52 letters of the English alphabet, so a line that mixes Chinese and English can stay in one font.

Who designed Fusion Pixel 12px TC?

Fusion Pixel 12px TC was designed by TakWolf.

What fonts are similar to Fusion Pixel 12px TC?

The most used Traditional Chinese pixel font besides Fusion Pixel 12px TC is Cubic 11. See every Pixel font for Traditional Chinese.
