This includes the character "心" (xīn)—which had received significant user feedback—as well as various Simplified Chinese characters that were poorly implemented during the project's early stages. Additionally, 50 frequently used Small Seal Script (小篆) characters—sourced from the new additions in Unicode 18.0—have been incorporated into the full version of LXGW WenKai. Symbols for dice and Mahjong tiles have also been added. The ongoing process of refining glyphs remains a long-term project. > > - Update `LXGWZhenKaiGB` to the `Slab` Version > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > This package is located at > https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/lxgw-fonts > > More information is at > https://ctan.org/pkg/lxgw-fonts > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Thanks for the upload. > > For the CTAN Team > Vincent Goulet > > > CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. > Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs.
