## What it is
An unofficial project that provides TrueType (TTF/TTC) conversions of Adobe's Source Han Sans, Serif, and Mono CJK fonts, preserving full curve precision and OpenType features. It offers better compatibility with Microsoft Windows, Office, and web frontends than the original OpenType/CFF releases.

## Use cases
- install Source Han fonts as TTF on Windows for better compatibility
- use Source Han Sans in Microsoft Office with style-link and font embedding
- replace OTF fonts with TrueType versions without redesigning documents
- use CJK fonts in web frontends where OTF/CFF is problematic
- build TrueType versions of Source Han fonts locally from OTF sources

## When to choose
- you need Source Han fonts in TrueType format for Windows, Office, or web use
- you want a drop-in TTF replacement for the official Source Han OTF files
- you need Office font embedding and bold style-linking with CJK fonts

## When to avoid
- you need variable fonts - use Adobe's official variable TTF releases instead
- you want corrected line height - use the dream-han-cjk family instead
- you need an officially Adobe-supported font build
