Copyright issue is certainly the key if you are talking about SimSun (known as Song Ti on windows 9x - 2000). SimSun was developed by Beijing ZhongYi Inc, M$ bought the license to use this font on their windows product (SimSun18030 and YaHei now licensed by Founder). It is neither open-source, nor free (as beer), and the license fee is HUGE.
If Zhongyi had released SimSun under any type of open license, nobody would have spend years of his/her time to make a font of his/her own. Furthermore, I doubt any of these Chinese font companies would open- source their fonts (at least in the near future) as Arphic did, because they used to get huge profit from this. -- ttf-wqy-zenhei and other Chinese fonts got mixed up where the same style is expected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
