I recommand Language Specific HW OTFs Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
This font is free for commercial use.
I use defold-lang and the font file above as example.
Do not select “All Chars”. Add only the characters you need.
Thank you! @Insality the defold-lang is awesome.
But there is a problem: Chinese and Japanese text cannot wrap correctly.
However, this issue can be worked around by manually inserting ‘\n’ in json file.
Or you can try the solutions below, but I do not recommend them.
I found the best solution is manually inserting ‘\n’ in json file, especially when you use defold-lang extension. Otherwise, it will not only waste a lot of time but also make the code logic much more complicated.

Hi!
Given the wrap issue you see, how come you are not using our font layout system? It has full layout support for Chinese etc.
font layout system? Do you mean GUI text ?
Actually, I use GUI text in this example. But Chinese and Japanese text can’t wrap correctly, if I don’t insert ‘\n’. I put the text in a JSON file just to make multilingual translation and switching easier. In the end, it is still read from the JSON file and then set to the GUI text.
We added support for ”text shaping”, e.g RTL or Asian languages in 1.12.0:
”Added support for text shaping (by JCash)”
Thanks!
