MOE TW Fonts

This is an unofficial collection of fonts in 國字標準字體 | 教育部 語文成果網 (language.moe.gov.tw), including historical versions.

Versions and names in the upstream source are chaotic, making it difficult to use the fonts in CI and reproduce bugs like typst#7449. Therefore, this repository is created.

Tip

To download TTF files, visit ./fonts/.

About the versions

The file names of *.ttf in this repository include version numbers and release dates. Be aware that these information are inferred and may be inaccurate, as the upstream is not managing versions properly.

For example, the situation as of 2025-11-24 is as follows.

• edusun.pdf said the latest version is 4.0 (or 4.00 in the second occurrence). The text implied that the version numbers of Big5 and Unicode are synchronized.
• Unicode version:
  • The file name in eduSong_Unicode.zip by then was eduSong_Unicode(2024年12月).ttf, encoded in Big5.
  • The version string in the name table of the file was Version 4.1, July, 2024 for Unicode platform and Version 4.2, December, 2024 for Windows platform.
• Big5 version:
  • The file name in edusong-big5.zip did not contain version or date.
  • The version string in the name table of the file was Version 4.0, November, 2023 for both Unicode and Windows platforms.

Helplessly, this repository stores them as eduSong_Unicode-v4.2-2024-12.ttf and eduSong_Big5-v4.1-2025-12.ttf.
