This is because the LGC glyphs in Source Sans Pro have been manipulated to harmonize with the other parts of Source Han Sans before integration. Unfortunately, using Source Sans Pro as a fallback to Source Han Sans is not a solution. Thus, it is possible for characters covered by Source Sans Pro to be found missing in Source Han Sans, as shown in the following sample: Not much space can be reserved for non-CJK characters because of the multi-language and pan-CJK nature of Source Han Sans.
While the Latin, Latin-like, Greek, and Cyrillic (LGC) glyphs of Source Han Sans (and thus Chiron Sans HK, they are mostly identical in terms of non-ideographic characters) are derived from Source Sans Pro, it has a fairly limited coverage due to the technical limitation on the maximum number of glyphs allowed in a single font file.
It aims to provide a modern, region-agnostic glyph set adopting the “written” style that is similar to the prevailing, usually commercial, typefaces such that it is suitable for use in a Traditional Chinese environment.
Build upon Chiron Sans HK (昭源黑體), it incorporates the entire character set found in Source Sans Pro.Ĭhiron Sans HK is modified from the Traditional Chinese – Hong Kong variant of Source Han Sans. TL DR: Chiron Sans HK + Source Sans 3 = Chiron Sans HK ProĬhiron Sans HK Pro (昭源黑體 Pro) is a sans-serif CJK typeface.
