Hi Rick,

Thanks for the information! 

Would you mind if I answer to your previous email CCing the public jenkins UX ML, so we keep everybody following/interesting by the Jenkins UX/UI initiative in the loop?

Thank you!

PingFang SC / Hiragino Sants GB for MacOS

Microsoft YaHei for windows

I hope that can help you.

Hi Rick,

I'm reaching out to you as the head of the Chinese localization SIG because I have some questions regarding fonts for Chinese characters on Jenkins. Feel free to redirect our email or to point us to another person if you think it's best.

I'm one of the developers working on the Jenkins UI revamp as part of the UX SIG (https://jenkins.io/sigs/ux/). We are looking into revisiting the typography as part of the next iteration. We're aiming to update the font sizes and fonts.

We're researching which font to use on the new UI. Roboto is looking to be our best option ATM for several reasons:

• It fits the material design aesthetic we're basing our efforts on.
• It's already being used on the setup wizard and the jenkins.io page

We are aware that Roboto does not contain Chinese glyphs. Looking at the https://jenkins.io/zh/ site I notice that my Chrome gracefully falls back to using PingFang SC on OSX and NotoSans CJK JP on Linux.

My question is, is the font behaviour good enough? Can we be confident that we are not degrading the user experience by choosing Roboto?
We appreciate any input you may have on this matter.

Best regards,
Félix
