#WHAT IS MINGLIU FONT PROFESSIONAL#
Here goes some of my idle speculation/barely professional style research, Josh! :-) If "Li" was intended, what is the deal with that uppercase 'U'? I suspect looking into the Chinese-language name strings in the font may shed more light on this, which I will attempt to do while eagerly awaiting a response from you :-) If "Liu" was intended, why wasn't it spelled "Liu", with a lowercase 'u'?. In any case: the current name seems like a mistake on *some* level. Or maybe it was a developmental/test font that somehow made its way into a release. My semi-educated guess is that it really was intended to be "Ming Li", but was called "Ming LiU" with a capital 'U' as in "Unicode" in order to distinguish it from the original (Big5) version, which may have shipped concurrently with the Unicode version at one time in order to provide HKSCS support. Notice the uppercase 'U' at the end of "LiU".it is not "Liu", even though many people pronounce it that way. I wonder if you could explore a bit of font naming history and discuss the "Ming LiU" font(s) that is included with Windows. So over in the Suggestion Box, typography comrade Josh asked: Kaplan, published on 5 10:01 -05:00, original URI:
