In many Brill publications, Chinese text is typeset using the Windows font PMingLiU 新細明體 (file name: "mingliu.ttc"). This font, a "TrueType Collection", contains a character set suitable to represent scholarly Chinese texts and those which are more of the 'traditional' type; it does not, however, contain many historical characters. Some rare and/or archaic characters in Chinese may only be found in the font BabelStone Han, which can be freely downloaded and used.

Chinese, i.e., people in the PRC (but not in Hong Kong and Macao), generally prefer another Song/Ming-type font: SimSun 中易宋体 (file name: "simsun.ttc"), with its companion SimSun-ExtB (file name: "simsunb.ttf"). Publication mainly geared towards, and/or authored by, PRC Chinese should use SimSun.
