The production of Chinese characters fonts is a huge project. Unlike the Western font library, the commonly used Chinese characters has 6,763 Chinese characters, and the GBK standard has a total of 20,902 Chinese characters, while the newly published GB_18,064 has a total of more than 60,000 characters. Moreover, the shape of Chinese characters is relatively complex, and the completion of a set of Chinese fonts requires a lot of professional energy and time. We advocate that everyone use genuine fonts to create a benign environment for the production of Chinese fonts.
However, the domestic font authorization system is not so perfect. Different manufacturers have different authorizations for different usage scenarios, and the less easy-to-understand professional terms in the authorization agreement often discourage users. For startups or individuals who are just starting out, the authorization fee of several thousand is also a considerable expense. Here are some Chinese fonts collected and organized online for free commercial use for everyone to use.
All the fonts included here can find the source of their open source or open free commercial licenses. Some fonts that claim to be free commercial on the Internet but cannot find the authorized source are not included in the list.

But Ko, the administrator of Taiwan’s most active font club, released three traditional Chinese fonts that transformed Zisiyuan Song font, which are open to users in need for free download! The three fonts are: source-sample-bright body, source lumen-bright body and source cloud-bright body.
The common feature of these three fonts is that they are modified from "Siyuan Song font". The Yuanyang Ming style uses the characters in the Siyuan Song font Korean version, and is combined with the customary punctuation marks of traditional Chinese. It can be said that it is a traditional Chinese font with both typesetting and traditional printing styles; the Yuanlumen style has been adjusted in the strokes to make the font look stronger; as for the Yuanyun Ming style, the thickness changes are added to the starting and ending of the horizontal strokes, and the intersection of the strokes is hazy.
Like Siyuan Song font, the source and source lumen have seven characters, while the source and source lumen have four types: Light, Regular, Medium and SemiBold, which can be widely used in various environments.
"Yuanyunming style" is an open source code Chinese font based on Siyuan Song style.
"Resource Lumen" is an open source code Chinese font based on Siyuan Song font.
"Yuan Symbol Mingti" is an open source code Chinese font based on Siyuan Songti. Using Siyuan Song Korean (KR) version characters, combined with traditional Chinese customary pinpoints, can type in traditional printed style documents.
"Dianming style" is a set of recommended glyph standards based on the inherited glyph standardization document "Inherited glyph component inspection table", and is encapsulated in TrueType format and OpenType in Unicode . I. I in the name of I.明体is the Roman numeral一. I. It is pronounced as一点, which symbolizes the basics of strokes: dots and lines. At present, I.明体has been fully maintained by the open source font organization Yizifang.
"One-point pen crane body" is modified from Wang Hanzong's rough steel body. The stone carving record is remade and trimmed and missing or under-appreciated parts of the original font, such as semi-shaped English numbers, circle characters, common symbols, etc.
"Dianyan style" is modified from Wang Hanzong Yan style, and the missing or under-appreciated parts of the original font are remade and trimmed, such as full-half-shaped English numbers, Hiragana, Katakana, Latin letters, Russian letters, Arabic numerals, circle characters, common symbols, etc.
Wang Hanzong's free font was first donated ten sets of WCL series fonts and 32 new fonts in 2000 and 2004, all distributed under the GNU GPL license.
However, cloud font service company Justfont does not believe there is an authorization problem. 17 Wang Hanzong free fonts can be seen in the font list provided. Wending Company believes that Wang Hanzong has many sets of fonts that are copied from Wending. However, if it is completely plagiarism, there will be controversy, because although the skeletons are the same, the depiction points are different, and at most, it can only be regarded as "suspected" plagiarism.
In addition, as for fonts such as "Lishu", "Song", and "Wending Company" are not original. There are many font companies that have the same name that almost look exactly the same. In this way, it is actually difficult to say who copied whom.

When you first see "Demonstration Leisure Little Calligraphy", you may not be surprised. If you taste it again, you will find that it is simple and straightforward. Just like the author who is still in the ivory tower, he is uncarved and simple scholarly. Next, let’s experience the “slump spirit” of Lei Ran Xiaokai together. The strokes of Youran's small calligraphy are clear in structure, without excessive continuous strokes and flying white, which is more friendly to reading recognition; the characters of Xiaoran are smaller in shape and naturally have larger spacing of characters. Even if used as long paragraphs of text, there will be no visual pressure on reading; the strokes of Youran's small calligraphy are balanced, with orderly starting and closing, without too strong contrast, and are naturally heavy and not floating; on the basis of Xiaoran's small calligraphy, some shadows of running calligraphy add agility to the font, but they are restrained, forming a state of stopping and continuous, and the strokes are broken and connected; some strokes may not be perfect and not smooth enough, but this uncultivated is also a rare simplicity; so after seeing many calligraphy fonts with big openings and closings, you may not feel very amazing when you see Youran's small calligraphy again. But beauty and noise do not necessarily represent strength, and it is even more valuable to be impressed.

这里的授权形式分为两类：免费商用和开源。
可能在不少人看来，「开源」就是没有限制。但实际情况恰恰相反。开源字体和开源软件一样，不但受制于各种类型的许可证，而且由于开源许可证的社区属性，关于其用法的争议甚至比权利义务一目了然的商业许可更大，在使用前必须认真检索和理解。值得注意的是常见的开源字体许可证对字体的使用限制不大，主要限制在于对字体的编辑和再分发。
商用免费不是一种开源软件的授权协议，主要指个人或者字体开发厂商没有开源但是免费提供给个人和商业机构使用的字体。目前中文字体的版权没有一个统一的标准，不同的字体厂商，对免费商用的字体有不同的限制，有些字体免费商用之前还需要获得厂商的授权，使用这类字体时需要仔细阅读他们的条款，避免不必要的麻烦。个人设计师发布并承诺开放免费商用的字体这没有这些限制。
厂商对于免费商用的字体有收回的权利，之前有过这样的案例，某些厂商对一些曾经免费商用的字体收回了授权。使用字体厂商发布的免费商用字体前需要确认这个字体是否还面对公众免费商用，这里也会尽量及时更新这类字体的授权信息。
GNU通用公共许可证(GNU General Public License)是GNU运动为保证其软件在后续的发展中仍保持开源开放而为其软件设立的“使用条款”。
GPL 最大的特点是：如果你在自己的作品中使用了受制于GPL 的软件，那么该作品也必须以GPL 许可分发。这显然会产生一个大问题：如果我在文档中用了GPL 字体，这份文件是否也就因此「感染」了GPL、变成了开源的东西？这是一个没有定论的问题，但其潜在争议很大，以至于GPL 的推广者自由软件基金会额外推出了一条名为「GPL 字型例外」（GPL font exception）的条款，可以附在GPL 字体许可的后面，阻断其向使用该字体的文件的传播。
由于其争议性这里收录的文泉系列字体需慎用。
SIL开放字体许可证(SIL Open Font License) 由SIL国际制定，初版于2005年发布，如今已是诸多开源字体的首选授权条款，这种许可证比GPL 要开明，不会扩散到使用SIL 字体的作品上，而只要求对字体作出修改后的作品本身要以相同许可分发。
IPA开放字型授权条款是日本「IPA」以符合「开放原始码促进会（Open Source Initiative）」于2009年开源定义的使用条款。
