CJK Font Baking for Japanese and Chinese
Why Japanese, Korean and Chinese require optimized font generation before translation updates.
What the confirmed data means
This technical step helps control memory and ensures required characters exist. It also explains why a translated string can be linguistically correct yet still fail visually if the font asset lacks a glyph or uses poor spacing.
Official evidence
The official report identifies a specific production step for CJK scripts. Large character sets cannot be treated like a small Latin alphabet, so the needed glyphs are prepared in optimized fonts before localized text is finalized.
How to use this information
Japanese QA should inspect kanji, kana, punctuation, player-entered text and uncommon names. Capture missing-glyph boxes, fallback fonts, broken line breaks and inconsistent weight separately from translation meaning.
