The first four characters of Thousand Character Classic in different typeface styles, script styles and type styles. From left to right: sans-serif (gothic), Ming, regular script, clerical script and seal script
This is a list of notable CJK fonts (computer fonts with a large range of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters). These fonts are primarily sorted by their typeface, the main classes being "with serif", "without serif" and "script". This article name the two first classes Ming and sans-serif (gothic) while further divide the "script" into several Chinese script styles.
The fonts are then sorted by their target writing system:[Note 1]
* Chinese: Chinese character. (May also support bopomofo.) This can be subdivided into the following classification:
** Simplified Chinese
** Traditional Chinese (General, using printing standard or jiu zixing, Chinese: 舊字形)
** Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, using education standard: Standard Form of National Characters, Chinese: 國字標準字體)
** Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong, using education standard: List of Graphemes of Commonly-Used Chinese Characters, Chinese: 常用字字形表)
The following localization table shortens Simplified Chinese to SC and Traditional Chinese to TC.
* Japanese: kanji, hiragana and katakana
* Korean: Hangul, hanja, etc.
* Vietnamese: for the Nom script formerly used
* Zhuang: for Sawndip
* Pan-Unicode: intended to globally support the majority of Unicode's characters, and not specifically designed for one or a few writing systems (note that Pan-Unicode font ≠ Unicode font[Note 2])
* Pan-CJK: intended to support the majority of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, and not specifically designed for any one of these writing systems

Notes
# A font targeted to a writing system usually still contains glyphs in the other writing systems.
# If a Unicode font (font containing a wide range of Unicode's characters) is targeted to one or a few writing systems, it will not be listed as a "pan-Unicode font" (font intended to globally support a wide range of Unicode's characters)
