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。

04 / Questions

Questions about WDXL Lubrifont TC

Answered from its licence and its font file

Is WDXL Lubrifont TC free for commercial use?

Yes. WDXL Lubrifont 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 WDXL Lubrifont TC?

FontKind doesn’t host WDXL Lubrifont TC’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file: it holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.

Is WDXL Lubrifont TC Simplified or Traditional Chinese?

Traditional: WDXL Lubrifont TC draws the Traditional forms written in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, 12,149 characters in all. For the other set, see the Display fonts for Simplified Chinese.

How do I use WDXL Lubrifont TC on a website?

Through Google Fonts: its stylesheet cuts WDXL Lubrifont TC into about a hundred small files by character, and a browser downloads only those holding the characters a page shows, never the whole 9.9 MB Regular file. To host it yourself, 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 WDXL Lubrifont TC set vertical text?

Yes: WDXL Lubrifont TC’s file has vertical forms, the OpenType vert feature, so in a vertical line its commas, full stops and brackets turn and move as they should. On a web page, CSS writing-mode: vertical-rl sets a block vertically; Word, InDesign and Illustrator have vertical text of their own.

Can I use WDXL Lubrifont TC in a game or an app?

Yes. The SIL Open Font License lets you build WDXL Lubrifont 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 WDXL Lubrifont TC have?

WDXL Lubrifont 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 WDXL Lubrifont TC have English letters?

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

Who designed WDXL Lubrifont TC?

WDXL Lubrifont TC was designed by NightFurySL2001. It has been on Google Fonts since April 2025.
