Descripción

With the whole amount of issues showing design problems and inconsistencies with CN glyphs (and subsequently some TW/HK glyphs), I might as well suggest that Arphic redo the CN glyphs (and also TW and HK) for the next major version of Source Han Sans and try to match the shapes and balances of the JP/KR glyphs designed by Adobe (those within Adobe-Japan1) or Iwata (for the extra JP glyphs). A redesign can better harmonize with existing JP/KR glyphs that work for CN/TW/HK.

Then instead of posting issues separately, we can all post design issues of CN glyphs here. I will later consolidate all the links and quotes into this page.

However, I think some CN glyphs can be kept as it is, like 的 (U+7684).

List of design issues relating to CN/TW/HK:

- #204
(I will later quote selected issues from this page)

(I will later quote selected issues from this page)
- #293
- #321
- #326
- #328
- #338
- #359
- #361
- #374
(look under the subheading "Glyphs that need aesthetic improvement")
- #386
(pertaining to TW glyphs of 亮 (U+4EAE) and 窮 (U+7AAE))
- #389
(maybe)
- #392
- #402
(pertaining to TW glyphs of 觚 (U+89DA), 攜 (U+651C), 靠 (U+9760), 竄 (U+7AC4))
- #404
- #405
(regarding [my comment](https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/issues/405#issuecomment-1517742849) about the spacing between the components)
- #410
- #414
(the 入 and 八 components for TW I believe are also designed by Changzhou Sinotype, as the length of the horizontal stroke in some characters is too short currently)
- #422
- #423
- #425
- #473
- https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-serif/issues/211

I have not included issues related to the merging of components yet, just pure design issues. However, with component merging on the cards, the CN/TW/HK glyphs would still have to be redesigned anyway.

And lastly, I ask Adobe not to reinvent the wheel, and look into any unreleased JP glyphs (or v1 JP glyphs) suitable for a possible redesign of the CN/TW/HK glyphs and use them if needed. Fix them if there are minor stroke interpolation or design issues in the source.
