GenshinImpact uses various typefaces and fonts throughout the game and official media. This page serves to aggregate and elaborate on specific typefaces in use throughout multiple facets of the game.

The primary typeface of Genshin Impact, seen as the font which is used to display virtually everything in-game, is a proprietary typeface tweaked by miHoYo which is based on Hanyi WenHei (Chinese: 汉仪文黑 Hny Wnhēi) in 85W weight (Extra Bold), or HYWenHei-85W, a font developed by Chinese professional font design company Hanyi Fonts (Beijing Hanyi Innovation Technology Co., Ltd.), a well-known Chinese font design studio.


By default, the font HYWenHei-85W supports 6763 Simplified Chinese character glyphs from the GB2312-80 character set standard of the People's Republic of China, 6763 Traditional Chinese character glyphs from the GB12345-90 character set standard of the People's Republic of China, as well as 9169 other characters commonly used on the Internet (including Japanese Kana characters); the in-game font contains all of them. Apart from glyphs mentioned above, some Chinese characters glyphs which follow the style of Hanyi WenHei may be designed by miHoYo or may have been contracted by miHoYo; other glyphs which do not but are included in the in-game font are directly from Microsoft YaHei (Chinese: 微软雅黑 Wēiruǎn Yǎhēi) Bold.


The font has either been modified or contracted to be modified by miHoYo, with modifications such as Japanese-style display of Chinese characters when the game language is set to Japanese, halfwidth interpuncts displayed as fullwidth, and many other modifications. Some Japanese Shinjitai Chinese character glyphs not used in Chinese, such as 図, are absent in HYWenHei-85W but are present in miHoYo's version with the same styling as the rest of the font, suggesting that miHoYo may have contracted Hanyi Fonts to design these proprietary glyphs for them.


Additionally, the Latin and Cyrillic fonts used in the typeface are separate from HYWenHei-85W and may be designed by miHoYo or may have been contracted by miHoYo. HYWenHei-85W natively supports Latin characters, but these are not used by the game and a separate Latin typeface is employed.


Korean characters are not natively supported by HYWenHei-85W, however miHoYo's font includes them. Most of the Korean glyphs are from Nanum Gothic Extrabold; other glyphs that are not included in the original font may have been composed, designed or contracted by miHoYo.


Genshin Impact's primary typeface, used extensively in-game, is a modified version of Hanyi WenHei 85W (Extra Bold) by Hanyi Fonts, a renowned Chinese font design studio. This proprietary typeface, tweaked by miHoYo, is based on the original HYWenHei-85W font.


I have a public PDF with no Copying Restrictions. When I try to copy text from the PDF highlighted text to WORD I only get unreadable garbage.

I can select the desired text and copy it into word but when I paste the text it is pasted like symbols and lines.


Thanks for the idea Bill, but it does not work. Even if i change the font in Word it will be still strange symbols. By the way if i save the PDF as a Word file I just get a lot of pages full of symbols, as you can see in the attach.


Sometimes you can change the font, as long as the fonts are compatible. Check the document properties to see if the fonts are embedded (I guess they are) and if you have those fonts on your system. If you do not have the fonts, then you can't copy them.


If the fonts don't have unicode tables and they do not use a standard encoding for mapping the glyph indices to characters then you get garbage characters during copy/paste. You can try using the PDF Fixup Profile "Embed Fonts" in the Preflight tool to embed the font (if you are unable to reauthor the document). However, the font does need to be installed on your system and license to allow embedding in order to do this.


Hi Lori, thanks for the good info! I open the Preflight windows, but there is no "Embed Fonts" in the Fixed up. I guess i do not have that font or the PDF enconding is just bizarre. The font is Gill Sans and Futura, which i have installed both in my system but maybe is a weird version of the font.


It is very frustrating to see how somebody at the Ministry of Health could be so dumb to upload a public PDF in Internet which is supposed to be copy/pasted by researchers all over without knowing this very basic stuff.


After looking inside the PDF it turns out that no usable encoding information is present (neither in the PDF nor in the embedded font data) to derive the meaning of the characters/glyphs that are displayed on the pages in the document.


The fonts actualy are all embedded, but in a way that all encoding information has been removed. This is a typical example of a PDF that is syntactically fully compliant with the PDF spec but where important information about the meaning of the text in it has been thrown away during the process of making the PDF. As far as I can tell it would be very difficult to recover the encoding info. Strange as it may sound the best option may be to convert the pages to oixel and then run OCR on them....


According to the document info PageMaker 7 and Distiller 5 have been used - not sure whether that combination wasn't quite up to the task but I am on Acrobat 9 now and haven't seen Pagemaker for years...


Thanks Olafdruemer and Bill for a very complete answer and good help in this matter. I will try the option on going on to TIFF mode and i might also call this Ministry (i do not hold much hope) to see if the can change a series of PDF made in the same way. It is interesting that you mention Pagemaker which is a Dinosaur in editorial design, almost nobody use it anymore.


NOTE: On another subject, this is my firs tread in this "new" Adobe Forum. I just realized the "Correct" and the "Helpful" answer which has also brings a point system. I have to say i find it quite unfair compared to the older Adobe forum when people just collaborate with info for the shake of helping. As an example most of the replies i got to my specific question in this tread were substantially helpful to me and i find it limitating or unfair to one have ONE chance to give a helpful answer to a particular member.


Something in the pdf program is recognizing the text, translating the 1's and 0's (that make up all computer files) into the letters that display on the screen that I can read and select with the mouse. So why can't that same "something" allow me to copy it? So frustrating.


I grab text every once in a while and it typically works fine. For me to be able to view the proper font on my system, I have to have that font available. The Arial you listed is not a typical system font and is probably why you are having problems. When you copy, what font name is shown in WORD or other word processor. Your problem is likely the fonts. Acrobat will display that font if has been embedded in the file. However, Acrobat will not copy a font to your machine, only the character information.


For some reason attachments has been deactivated (used to be right above the Post Message button). The simplest way is to post a link to another site where you post the file. There must have been some abuse or something, because it was a useful feature.


Yes, I know some of the text is in German, but I should still be able to copy and paste the text as it is regardless. But honestly, my main objective is to be able to search for text within the document. If there is an error message saying "G2 Fault" I want to be able to search and find all references to this in the manual.




If you want to copy text from PDF to Word and want to perserve the layouts and hyperlinks, evern graphics, you could use PDF to Word Converter, by which, you can preserve the original contents from PDF to Word. This PDF to Word Converter is a free desktop program providing batch partial and encrypted PDF conversion, which is better than free online software. Just go to try it and hope it helps.


One approach is a bit of work, but might meet your need. I saved the file to TIFF (600dpi). I then went through each TIFF to converted it to B&W. I think copied the text to WORD. The result was not perfect, but it was in English and could be clipped. The resolution and the B&W were important to the project completion.


So, what's the deal with the Impact font and fonts similar to Impact? Most of us have seen an Impact font meme before, but have you noticed that the Impact font style is relevant and successful elsewhere too? In this article, we'll take a look at thick fonts like Impact and give some background on this bold typeface.


When you mention the Impact font, the first thing most familiar people will likely mention is memes. Impact is arguably one of the biggest "meme fonts". It's typically paired with some sort of image and used to convey an idea. Sometimes, this is very niche, while other times it's far broader. Regardless, the Impact font seems to be a meme favorite.


But why Impact? The Impact font itself is more than 40 years old. It's a blocky, industrial, grotesque typeface. Because it's so bold, it tends to really command attention. Perhaps this is why the Internet took hold of it in the 2010s the way it did. It also likely has something to do with its availability: many have access to this font as a system font.


Because of this, the Impact font provokes mixed opinions in the design community. All visuals potentially have preconceived ideas, so an association with memes can seem pretty iffy in some situations.


Bold sans serif type, especially with thicker strokes, is often a great choice for points of emphasis, like headlines or titles. Some of the best Impact font alternatives can be used for things like logo design, posters, T-shirts, and much more.


Thick, bold type isn't exclusive to memes. In fact, type like this can be quite prevalent in industries like fitness, restaurants, and even technology. Keep your eye out for bold, dense sans serifs in the future. You might be surprised where you see them in action.
