I had a bit of fun with the Emoji as I selected them by Chinese name. I do like the Hannotate SC font style used for English as well as the Hannotate SC font style used for Chinese. This font contains glyphs for English as well as Chinese. Here is what my Sudoku board looks like with Firefox + Hannotate SC font. Are there any other human language scripts that are squared?〗 My favourite combinations, so far, are: Firefox + Hannotate SC 手札体-简, Firefox + PingFang SC 苹方-简, Firefox + Yuanti SC 圆体-简, Firefox + Baoli SC 报隶-简, Lantinghei SC 兰亭黑-简, Firefox + Nanum Myeongjo 나눔 명조 and Chrome +Heiti SC 黑体-简. In the "Noto Sans Korean" case, it seems that the 2 browsers have a 90 degree difference in interpretation of this fontʼs metrics. I reason that there are dependencies between browsers and font metrics.

Firefox + "Noto Sans Korean" gives horizontal rectangles.

+ "Noto Sans Korean" produces vertical rectangles. Using font "Noto Sans Korean" results in really awful aspect ratios in both browsers. Firefox + Nanum Myeongjo produces a near perfect square. One of the characteristics of the Korean language script Hangul (also romanised as Hangeul) 한글 is that the individual letters Jamo are formed into squared syllable blocks. Letʼs explore this characteristic with the Korean font Nanum Myeongjo 나눔 명조. From my experimentation, one can see that there are differences between browsers and a perfect square is not always produced. My expectation is that all browsers, when Chinese fonts are specified, should give perfect squares for the table cells as the squared Chinese character is a fundamental characteristic of the Chinese language. Firefox + Heiti gives a horizontal rectangle. Chrome + Heiti SC produces a near perfect square. Using font Heiti SC, Chrome gives much better results than Firefox. Chrome + Lantinghei SC 兰亭黑-简 gives a vertical rectangle. Chrome + Baoli SC 报隶-简 gives a vertical rectangle.įirefox + Lantinghei SC 兰亭黑-简 produces a perfect square. Chrome + Yuanti SC 圆体-简 gives a vertical rectangle.įirefox + Baoli SC 报隶-简 produces a perfect square. Chrome + PingFang SC gives a vertical rectangle.įirefox + Yuanti SC 圆体-简 produces a perfect square. Using the template font-family: font name ,monospace, let's try some more Chinese fonts.įirefox + font PingFang SC produces a perfect square. Chrome, on the other hand, produces vertical rectangular aspect ratio table cells. With Firefox, we now have a really good looking table with square aspect ratio table cells. Let's now use a Chinese font: font-family:"Hannotate SC",monospace.
