Sinotype III was never commercially released. But the painstaking work of its development—including the making of this bitmap Chinese font—was central to a complex global effort to solve a vexing engineering puzzle: how to equip a computer to handle Chinese. https://t.co/lmxEl4jFuq — PolitiTweet.org
