I'm doing some coding that involves displaying Chinese characters as images, and observed that the font I'm using for coding (simsun) does not display a lot of the characters that my browser displays fine.

E.g. all the characters on this page appear fine in my browser, but do not display in simsun. When I view the source code of the page, the font is "Helvetica Neue,... sans-serif", which suggests the browser is just defaulting to its sans-serif font.

But I have no idea how to view my browser (Chrome)'s default Chinese fonts.

  • Firefox displays "MingLiU_HKSCS-ExtB". Maybe Chrome hast a similar mechanism in its developer tools. // I’ll edit the title to be a little more clear.

Using in Chrome the extension Font Finder gave this information:

The answer to your question is then that the font being used in Chrome is NSimSun. I don't know if this is the same as your font simsun.

  • Thanks. I find this very weird, as it seems that simsun includes the NSimSun font, yet doesn't render all the characters my browser can. I've posted the full issue here, if you know what's going on.
