How to check missing glyphs?
Test real brand names, addresses, and rare/traditional characters.
Chinese–English pairing?
Lock the Chinese tone first, then match Latin weights/sizes.
Web performance tips?
Subset and limit weights to protect first paint.
Calligraphy for body text?
No — short titles only.
