Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for google/fonts: Focused on licensing and subset accuracy for Chinese fonts to ensure compliant and correct international typography delivery. Key achievement: corrected the font subsetting to use the Chinese Traditional subset (replacing chinese-hongkong) and updated the ChironHeiHK font binaries' license string to reflect accurate licensing. This reduces licensing risk, aligns assets with usage rights, and improves downstream usage for Chinese-language deployments. The work was validated through two commits with targeted fixes and asset updates, reinforcing release stability and vendor compliance.
