Is it possible to remove the Korean Hangul glyphs?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
There are about 11K Korean Hangul glyphs, which I find unnecessary as a Traditional Chinese font. Removing them from Chiron HK can save a bit of space.
Also I am also referencing one of your other issues about modifying the font, as I want to learn how to do a fork myself. I don't know if it's possible for a SHS fork not to include certain glyphs to save space, other than just simply subsetting.
If it's not important to you, then you are free to close the issue. But at least let me know if it's technically feasible to remove unnecessary glyphs from a fork (other than Chinese characters).
I think if I remember correctly, the font (if I open it in FontForge, shown here is Source Han Sans K VF OTF ExtraLight, compiled from source) is divided into classifications like Alphabetic, Kana, Hangul, Ideographs, etc.
Once again, I apologise for my current lack of knowledge of modifying a complex font like Source Han Sans, and I want to know more and try things myself.
The author is not obligated to help a non-technical person like me (and also the website stated that Kana and Hangul is supported in this font, so there will never be any plans to remove Hangul), so I will close this issue to keep the issues page clean and I will probably find another way to develop such a complex font in the future.
