"AR PL UMing" Chinese Unicode TrueType font collection Mingti style

"AR PL UMing" is a high-quality Chinese Unicode TrueType font collection (uming.ttc) derieved from the original "AR PL Mingti2L Big5" and "AR PL SungtiL GB" fonts generously provided by Arphic Technology to the Free Software community under the "Arphic Public License".

It has been extended from the original "AR PL Mingti2L Big5" and "AR PL SungtiL GB" fonts with additional glyphs now covering ISO8859-1,2,3,4,9,10,13,14,15, BIG5, GB2312-80 and HKSCS-2004. It also includes Bopomofo Extensions for Hakka and Minnan according to the Unicode 5.0 standard and their MBE variants.

Support for CNS 11643, GBK, GB 18030, Japanese and Korean is under heavy development. Users who need more Han glyphs than provided by GB2312 and Big5 or who need support for Chinese minority languages may want to install this font package.

This font also includes Firefly's bitmap characters for better rendering in small fontsizes (Big5 and GB2312 only).

This font is an alternative to the fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp and fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp font packages.
