Nowar Rounded is shipped in 4 weights and 5 regional variants, with several features.

Regional Variants

Bliz and Neut are “standard variants” with regional Chinese character orthographies.

CL is the “classical variant” with classical Chinese character orthography (aka Kāngxī Dictionary forms).

PSimp and PSimpChat are special variants for 繁體中文 that remap traditional Chinese character to simplified ones.

• European: English, Español (AL), Português, Deutsch, Español (EU), Français, Italiano, and Русский.
• UI: Ambiguous punctations are treated as Western; CJK puctations are half-width.
• Common fonts: FRIZQT__ and ARIALN, which are hard-coded in some addons.

Features

Pre-built feature variants: Bliz,OSF, Bliz,RP, Bliz,SC.

How to Build

Dependencies

• basic Unix utils,
• Python,
• otfcc and
• 7-Zip (add to PATH).

Note:

• Choose 64-bit version if possible. 32-bit version may lead to out-of-memory issue.

Build Feature Variant

Prepare submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Run configure.py to generate Makefile:

python configure.py

Put Resource Han Rounded TTF files to source/rhr/.

Then make a specific variant:

make <region>,<features>-<weight> -j<threads>

Note: Features must be sorted alphabetically. (OSF, RP, SC).

e.g.

make CN,OSF,RP-400 -j4

The output is out/NowarSans-<region>,<features>-<weight>-<version>.7z.

Create Regional Variant

To build exactly what you need, modify configure.py:

class Config:
    # put your variant here
    fontPackRegion = [ <your_region> ]

# define the variant here.
regionalVariant = { ... }

For example, the “CNmulti” multi-orthography variant,

class Config:
    fontPackRegion = [ "CNmulti" ]

regionalVariant = {
    "CNmulti": {
        "base": "CN",
        "enUS": True,
        "ruRU": True,
        "zhCN": "CN",
        "zhTW": "TW",
        "koKR": "KR",
    }
}

Then, run python configure.py to generate Makefile. The new regional variant (with optional feature) can be built by:

make <region>,<features>-<weight> -j<threads>

e.g.

make CNmulti-400 -j4
make CNmulti,OSF-400 -j4
