Source Han Sans is an open source Pan-CJK typeface whose OpenType/CFF fonts and CID-based sources are covered under the terms of the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1 (also see the LICENSE and FAQ). Here you will find the ready-to-install OpenType/CFF font resources, as individual font resources or grouped together in downloadable ZIP files. The fonts' CID-based sources and build instructions are available in the repository's main branch.
Select this deployment format if you want all five languages and all weights, along with the half-width (HW) variations, and your system supports both variable fonts and OTCs.
Note: There are no Region-specific Variable OTCs as the file size would be larger than the Language-specific OTC, defeating the benefits of file size.
Select this deployment format if your system supports variable fonts and you prefer to use only one language, but also want full character coverage or the ability to language-tag text to use glyphs that are appropriate for the other languages (this requires an app that supports language tagging and the OpenType 'locl' GSUB feature). Font resources that include "HW" in their names use half-width glyphs for ASCII by default.

Select this deployment format if you want all five languages and all seven weights, along with the half-width (HW) variations that are provided only for the Regular and Bold weights, in a single and easy-to-manage font resource that includes 45 fonts. Changing languages is accomplished by either selecting the font of the desired language or by language-tagging the text. A limited number of apps support language tagging and the corresponding OpenType 'locl' (Localized Forms) GSUB feature, such as Adobe InDesign CC and modern browsers.
Special Note: This deployment format requires macOS (OS X) Version 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) or later, iOS 7 or later, Windows 10 Version 1703 (aka Creators Update) or later, a flavor of Linux that uses fontconfig and FreeType Version 2.5.0.1 or greater, or Adobe CS6 apps or later.
Select this deployment format if you want all five languages and particular weights, or if your environment does not support the Super OTC. Changing languages is accomplished the same way as the Super OTC. If you need particular weights, download individual font resources from the OTC folder, otherwise click both of the links below:
Note: The Regular and Bold weights include 10 fonts due to the addition of the half-width (HW) variations.
Special Note: This deployment format requires macOS (OS X) Version 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) or later, iOS 7 or later, Windows 10 Version 1607 (aka Anniversary Update) or later, a flavor of Linux that uses fontconfig and FreeType Version 2.5.0.1 or greater, or Adobe CS6 apps or later.
Select this deployment format if you prefer to use only one language, but also want full character coverage or the ability to language-tag text to use glyphs that are appropriate for the other languages (like the Super OTC and OTCs, this requires an app that supports language tagging and the OpenType 'locl' GSUB feature). Font resources that include "HW" in their names use half-width glyphs for ASCII by default. If you need only specific weights, download individual font resources from the OTF folder, otherwise click on the appropriate links below:
Simplified Chinese (简体中文) | HW Regular + HW Bold
Traditional Chinese — Taiwan (繁體中文—臺灣) | HW Regular + HW Bold
Traditional Chinese — Hong Kong (繁體中文—香港) | HW Regular + HW Bold
Japanese (日本語) | HW Regular + HW Bold
Korean (한국어) | HW Regular + HW Bold
Select this deployment format if you need only the glyphs for characters for a particular region, or if you are not sure which deployment format to choose.
Each ZIP file contains seven font resources, one for each of the seven weights. If you need specific weights, download individual font resources from the SubsetOTF folder, otherwise click on the appropriate links below:
