Summary
Add Simplified Chinese (简体中文) handwriting animation support with the Ma Shan Zheng (马善政) Google Font and a 3500+ character set from the 通用规范汉字表 (General Standard Chinese Characters Table, Level 1).
What is included
- Character set: 3516 unique Chinese characters plus Chinese punctuation and Latin baseline (
SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE_CHARS)
- Font: Ma Shan Zheng — a calligraphy-style Google Font optimized for Chinese handwriting
- Stroke data: Pre-computed stroke order from
hanzi-writer-data (same data source as Hanzi Writer), eliminating the need for the rasterize → skeletonize → trace pipeline for CJK characters
- Bundle: 3602 glyphs (3513 Chinese + 89 Latin), ~6MB
glyphData.json, ~6MB TTF font files
