FZKaiTi, XinGothic SC and SongTi Sizes

[sobriaebritas]

Hi Mike

I've just installed the Kaiti font, and I've noticed that in the example sentences of the entries' body it looks smaller than the XinGothic (and the ones for pinyin and English). There's no way to make it look larger, is there?
Another question, please: in those example sentences, does the SongTi font look the same, smaller or bigger than the Kaiti font?

Thank you!

Not at the moment, no - function of how the font was designed. (Kai fonts are often a bit smaller in their bounding boxes) The Song font looks bigger - about the same size as the built-in fonts.

While on the topic of fonts; is there a way to make Kai the default for what xing can't display? (Might look better)

Will there be an update for xing ever?
I mean I read the warning before I bought it but it seems like the fanti it can display is uneven chars like 別 can't even be displayed while more complicated ones have no problems

We're hoping they expand the font with more characters at some point, but absent that we don't really have the ability to add them on our own - we could theoretically license a separate Xing-style font for fanti users, but to be honest I'm not sure if we'd be able to make the numbers work (unless we charged say $20 for it, which would lead to a whole lot of pissed-off email about PRC bias).

Posting that inspired me to double-check their website and it looks like they may actually have an expanded character set version of it now - I'll email them about it shortly.
