What's the difference between Source Han Sans CJK Simplified Chinese and Source Han Sans Simplified

New Here ,

I was looking for Source Han San/Serif Simplied Chinese fonts.

 

Very oddly, under 'Source Han Serif Simplified Chinese' page, the fonts are named as: Source Han Serif SC, SC seems the acronym of 'Simplified Chinese'. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/source-han-serif-simplified-chinese#fonts-section 

 

But then under 'Source Han Sans Simplified Chinese' page, the names are changed to: Source Han Sans CN. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/source-han-sans-simplified-chinese?ref=tk.com#fonts-section 

 

Ok, and there is another page under 'Source Han Sans CJK Simplified Chinese', the fonts are named as: Source Han Sans SC. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/source-han-sans-cjk-simplified-chinese#fonts-section 

 

Does anyone know what's the difference between the sans fonts, as SC and CN, and why CJK Simplified Chinese? Are they the same? ?

Thanks...

If I remember well, the fonts are the same. The difference between the different declinations are just the default character set that is enabled. It appears that some applications can't switch the code page and so, they can only show the default code page. Applications like InDesign work correctly, and there is no need to prefer one over the other.

 

CJK stands for Chinese, Japanese, Korean.

SC stands for simplified Chinese

TC stands for Traditional Chinese
