Similar to MS Gothic, the Meiryo UI fonts are bundled with the same Meiryo TTC files of respective weights. Meiryo UI is a version that uses condensed kana and reduced line height compared to Meiryo, introduced with Windows 7 and is also available as an update in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. ![]() Meiryo did away with embedding bitmap images into fonts for use at small sizes, a strategy employed by many CJK fonts (including MS Gothic and MS Mincho) to compensate for a lack of hinting support. While most Latin fonts were able to use hinting at any size, most CJK fonts were incompatible with the technology (with the exception of some fonts such as Arial Unicode MS). It was meant to increase the legibility of Japanese text on LCD screens, and would thus take the place of MS Gothic and MS Mincho, both of which had been widely used at the time. Meiryo was created out of a growing need for legible CJK fonts compatible with Microsoft ClearType's hinting and subpixel rendering system. Microsoft bundled Meiryo with Office Mac 2008 as part of the standard install, and it replaces MS Gothic as the default system font for Vista on Japanese systems. Meiryo ( メイリオ, Meirio) is a Japanese sans-serif gothic typeface. ![]() ![]() Meiryo is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and other countries.
