Last updated at Posted at 2014-08-14

Noto Sans JapaneseとSource Han Sans JPのどっちを使おうかなと思いながら両方ダウンロードしてみた。

各ウェイトの名前が違うのはともかく、Thin-Windowsって何?

Google

9435c66c9bff - noto - Fonts that support all languages/characters in Unicode - Google Project Hosting

Add Windows-specific versions of Noto CJK Thin fonts.

This is to work around a but in Windows that automatically applies fake bolding to fonts with a usWeight lower than 250. See for example http://typophile.com/node/103397.

Thin(ExtraLight)のウェイトは100なので、Windows版にウェイトを変更したものを用意したと。

nototools/fix_noto_cjk_thin.py
    assert font['OS/2'].usWeightClass == 100
    font['OS/2'].usWeightClass = 250

フォント名・ウェイト名はThinのままなので、OSの違いで問題になることはなさそう。

Adobe

Source Han Sans JP側のGithubにはこれに関するIssueは上がっていないものの、Adobeの開発者向けページにこの問題に関する記述は発見。

The applications which have problems all appear to exhibit the same problems with the same fonts. Some examples of common problem applications include PageMaker 6.5.x, Word 97, and Word 2000.

今はもう気にしなくていいのか、更新されていないだけなのか・・・。
