The end result is that the optimal arrangement is very limited. Chinese characters are relatively difficult, each character stroke is more complex, and difficult to distinguish between different characters in a finite pixel matrix.Each character stroke is simple, people can write most of them in three strokes, so we can display different optimized arrangements and display the different style character fonts in a limited space. English letters, comparatively, are easy to write.To display a Chinese character on a limited pixel matrix, we need to assign a reasonable amount of pixels to each stroke, which can vary greatly based on the font size. Chinese characters are formed with a varied number of strokes (dot stroke,horizontal stroke, vertical stroke, left-falling stroke, right-falling stroke,etc.).

otf files that may reach 115M with 9 different font weights (hinted), each of them is nearly 16M, the loading speed can be affected and is likely to be far slower than a 26 character English font (the ‘Noto Sans’ for Latin script has a file size of about 200K for each font weight.) For example, a full version of ‘Noto Sans CJK’ of Simplified Chinese has. A full version of Chinese font has at least 3500 characters for common use, this means the font files will be huge.Put simply: Chinese webfonts can be a pain in the ass. Fonts may make up the biggest part of the Chinese reading experience, but the particularity of Chinese characters causes the formation of Chinese webfonts to be complex and complicated.
