## Font Selection

### Recommended CJK Fonts

### Government Document Fonts (公文)

| Element | Font | Size |
|---------|------|------|

## Font Size Names

CJK uses named sizes. Map to points and `w:sz` half-point values:

| 字号 | Points | `w:sz` | Common Use |
|------|--------|--------|------------|
| 初号 | 42pt | 84 | Display title |
| 小初 | 36pt | 72 | Large title |
| 一号 | 26pt | 52 | Chapter heading |
| 小一 | 24pt | 48 | Major heading |
| 二号 | 22pt | 44 | Document title (公文) |
| 小二 | 18pt | 36 | Western H1 equivalent |
| 三号 | 16pt | 32 | CJK heading / 公文 body |
| 小三 | 15pt | 30 | Sub-heading |
| 四号 | 14pt | 28 | CJK subheading |
| 小四 | 12pt | 24 | Standard body (CJK) |
| 五号 | 10.5pt | 21 | Compact CJK body |
| 小五 | 9pt | 18 | Footnotes |
| 六号 | 7.5pt | 15 | Fine print |

---

## RunFonts Mapping

OpenXML uses four font slots to handle multilingual text:

```xml
<w:rFonts
  w:ascii="Calibri"        <!-- Latin characters (U+0000–U+007F) -->
  w:hAnsi="Calibri"        <!-- Latin extended, Greek, Cyrillic -->
  w:eastAsia="SimSun"      <!-- CJK Unified Ideographs, Kana, Hangul -->
  w:cs="Arial"             <!-- Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Devanagari -->
/>
```

**Word's character classification logic:**

1. Character is in CJK range → uses `w:eastAsia` font
2. Character is in complex script range → uses `w:cs` font
3. Character is basic Latin (ASCII) → uses `w:ascii` font
4. Everything else → uses `w:hAnsi` font

**Key**: `w:eastAsia` is the **only** way to set CJK fonts. Setting just `w:ascii` will NOT affect CJK characters. Mixed text within a single run auto-switches fonts at the character level — no need for separate runs.

### Document Defaults

```xml
<w:docDefaults>
  <w:rPrDefault>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri" w:eastAsia="SimSun" w:cs="Arial" />
      <w:sz w:val="22" />
      <w:szCs w:val="22" />
      <w:lang w:val="en-US" w:eastAsia="zh-CN" />
    </w:rPr>
  </w:rPrDefault>
</w:docDefaults>
```

`w:lang w:eastAsia` helps Word resolve ambiguous characters (e.g., punctuation shared between CJK and Latin).

## Punctuation & Line Breaking

### Full-Width vs Half-Width

CJK text uses full-width punctuation:

| Type | CJK | Latin |
|------|-----|-------|
| Period | 。(U+3002) | . |
| Comma | ，(U+FF0C) 、(U+3001) | , |
| Colon | ：(U+FF1A) | : |
| Semicolon | ；(U+FF1B) | ; |
| Quotes | 「」『』 or ""'' | "" '' |
| Parentheses | （）(U+FF08/09) | () |

In mixed text, use the punctuation style of the **surrounding language context**.

### OpenXML Controls

```xml
<w:pPr>
  <w:adjustRightInd w:val="true" />   <!-- Adjust right indent for CJK punctuation -->
  <w:snapToGrid w:val="true" />        <!-- Align to document grid -->
  <w:kinsoku w:val="true" />           <!-- Enable CJK line breaking rules -->
  <w:overflowPunct w:val="true" />     <!-- Allow punctuation to overflow margins -->
</w:pPr>
```

### Kinsoku Rules (禁則処理)

Prevents certain characters from appearing at the start or end of a line:
- **Cannot start a line**: `）」』】〉》。、，！？；：` and closing brackets
- **Cannot end a line**: `（「『【〈《` and opening brackets

Word applies these automatically when `w:kinsoku` is enabled.

### Line Breaking

- CJK characters can break between **any two characters** (no word boundaries needed)
- Latin words within CJK text still follow word-boundary breaking
- `w:wordWrap w:val="false"` enables CJK-style breaking (break anywhere)

---

## Paragraph Indentation

### Chinese Standard: 2-Character Indent

Chinese body text conventionally uses a 2-character first-line indent:

```xml
<w:ind w:firstLineChars="200" />  <!-- 200 = 2 characters × 100 -->
```

Preferred over `w:firstLine` with fixed DXA because `firstLineChars` scales with font size.

| Indent | Value |
|--------|-------|
| 1 character | `w:firstLineChars="100"` |
| 2 characters | `w:firstLineChars="200"` |
| 3 characters | `w:firstLineChars="300"` |

---

## Line Spacing

- CJK characters are taller than Latin characters at the same point size
- Default `1.0` line spacing may feel cramped with CJK text
- Recommended: `1.15–1.5` for mixed CJK+Latin, `1.0` with fixed 28pt for 公文

### Auto Spacing

```xml
<w:pPr>
  <w:autoSpaceDE w:val="true"/>  <!-- auto space between CJK and Latin -->
  <w:autoSpaceDN w:val="true"/>  <!-- auto space between CJK and numbers -->
</w:pPr>
```

Adds ~¼ em spacing between CJK and non-CJK characters automatically. **Recommended: always enable.**

| 公章 (official seal) | Red | Mandatory |

### Page Numbers

- Position: bottom center
- Format: `-X-` (dash-number-dash)
- Font: 宋体 四号 (SimSun 14pt, `sz="28"`)
- No page number on cover page if present

---

## Mixed Script

### Font Size Harmony

CJK characters appear larger than Latin characters at the same point size. Compensation:

- If body is Calibri 11pt, pair with CJK at 11pt (same size — CJK looks slightly larger but acceptable)
- If precise visual match needed, CJK can be set 0.5–1pt smaller
- In practice, same point size is standard — don't over-optimize

### Bold and Italic

- **Chinese/Japanese have no true italic.** Word synthesizes a slant which looks poor
- Use **bold** for emphasis in CJK text
- Use 着重号 (emphasis dots) for traditional emphasis: `<w:em w:val="dot"/>` on RunProperties

---

## OpenXML Quick Reference

### Set EastAsia Font (C#)

```csharp
new Run(
    new RunProperties(
        new RunFonts { EastAsia = "SimSun", Ascii = "Calibri", HighAnsi = "Calibri" },
        new FontSize { Val = "32" }  // 三号 = 16pt = sz 32
    ),
    new Text("这是正文内容")
);
```

### Document Defaults (C#)

```csharp
new DocDefaults(new RunPropertiesDefault(new RunPropertiesBaseStyle(
    new RunFonts {
        Ascii = "Calibri", HighAnsi = "Calibri",
        EastAsia = "Microsoft YaHei"
    },
    new Languages { Val = "en-US", EastAsia = "zh-CN" }
)));
```

### 公文 Style Definitions (C#)

```csharp
// Title style — 小标宋 二号 centered
new Style(
    new StyleName { Val = "GongWen Title" },
    new BasedOn { Val = "Normal" },
    new StyleRunProperties(
        new RunFonts { EastAsia = "FZXiaoBiaoSong-B05S" },
        new FontSize { Val = "44" },  // 二号 = 22pt
        new Bold()
    ),
    new StyleParagraphProperties(
        new Justification { Val = JustificationValues.Center },
        new SpacingBetweenLines { Line = "560", LineRule = LineSpacingRuleValues.Exact }
    )
) { Type = StyleValues.Paragraph, StyleId = "GongWenTitle" };

// Body style — 仿宋_GB2312 三号
new Style(
    new StyleName { Val = "GongWen Body" },
    new StyleRunProperties(
        new RunFonts { EastAsia = "FangSong_GB2312", Ascii = "FangSong_GB2312" },
        new FontSize { Val = "32" }  // 三号 = 16pt
    ),
    new StyleParagraphProperties(
        new SpacingBetweenLines { Line = "560", LineRule = LineSpacingRuleValues.Exact }
    )
) { Type = StyleValues.Paragraph, StyleId = "GongWenBody" };
```

### Emphasis Dots (着重号)

```csharp
new RunProperties(new Emphasis { Val = EmphasisMarkValues.Dot });
```

### East Asian Text Layout

```xml
<!-- Snap to grid (align CJK chars to character grid) -->
<w:snapToGrid w:val="true"/>

<!-- Two-lines-in-one (双行合一) -->
<w:eastAsianLayout w:id="1" w:combine="true"/>

<!-- Vertical text in a cell -->
<w:textDirection w:val="tbRl"/>
```
