About Chinese Font Generic Family

Hello, 

About Chinese Font Generic Family issue, discussed last year in www-style [1].

In Chinese print books, Kaiti（楷體）is more generally used than Heiti（黑體=gothic in Japanese）.

If css font module level 3 count Kaiti as Serif font, authors should list every usable Kaiti in @font-face.

So my proposal is: let Kaiti in Chinese as cursive, that may solve practical problem.

I think put Kaiti together with Gyosho（行書）and Sousho（草書）

More information about Webfont. A woff file contains 39,000 characters up to 11MB.

There’s some services with dynamic subsetting in Taiwan, but not generally adopted.[2,3]
