For those individual users who want to use richer fonts, they can buy other fonts. But it can only be used for writing and printing on one computer, and cannot be used for large-scale commercial distribution.
There have been some misunderstandings about the use of Chinese characters. Some people think that Chinese characters have existed for thousands of years, and the copyright protection period has passed, so they can be used at will. Actually, it's not.
At the seminar on intellectual property protection of fonts in China, Zhang Jianguo, general manager of Founder Electronic Font Division, who has been engaged in font research and development, said, "We divide fonts into several categories. One kind is the words left by our ancestors. For example, regular script characters were widely used in inscriptions in past dynasties. Actually, it is copyrighted, but after the copyright period, everyone can use it.
The second is to change the common font, which is relatively large and meets the copyright requirements. This type should be protected as an artistic font. The third category is from scratch in history, which meets the requirements of copyright uniqueness protection, so we should focus on protection. "

How to use Chinese fonts in 1. Web pages.
From a technical point of view, whether it is a PC-side webpage or a mobile webpage, the use of Chinese fonts mainly includes the following three ways:
2. By means of pictures.
In this way, in the process of web page design, a picture formed by a specific font is inserted, and at this time, the picture file is saved on the web server and called by an HTML command.
The common application form of using Chinese fonts through pictures in web pages is mainly used to display enterprise names, products and decorative images, as well as other promotional documents made through special design. These pictures are usually made by professional artists through font software, saved in picture format, and then inserted into web pages. When visitors visit a webpage, they can see the corresponding font text content displayed in the form of pictures.
3. Use the @ font-face command.
In the HTML language environment, W3C has also formulated the webpage typesetting standard CSS, and @ font-face is the instruction module under the CSS standard. Through the @ font-face instruction module, the web page producer can set the font format on the web page, so that the text content can be displayed according to the corresponding font when visiting the web page.
At this point, the web page producer needs to pre-store and install the corresponding font file on the web server. In order to be compatible with different browsers, when installing the font library file, it is often necessary to convert the font library file [,and then call the font library file through the @ font-face instruction module. When the user visits the webpage, the font is automatically loaded through the instruction module, and finally the text content of the corresponding font is displayed.
4, through the font-family command.
Font series is also an instruction module under CSS standard. The web page producer establishes a list of calling fonts through the font-family command. Usually, the operating system of the device will set the font library in advance. When accessing a webpage through a device, the webpage will automatically compare the font library installed on the accessing device with the font list.
Call the font library files installed locally on the device in sequence, so that the text content on the webpage is displayed in the corresponding font. In this case, the web page itself does not need to store the installed font library file, and the fonts on the web page are set and displayed by calling the font library file installed locally on the device.
The font of the text displayed when visitors visit the page is determined by the setting of the font list on the access device and the pre-installed font library file.
