@reogrid/font-jp

Noto Sans JP — subset to the EUC-JP repertoire and instanced at Thin (100), Regular (400), Bold (700) — packaged for ReoGrid PDF export, so a browser never has to fetch a 9.15 MB variable font from a CDN.

npm install @reogrid/font-jp

import { registerPdfFont, preloadPdfFont } from '@reogrid/pro';
import { notoSansJP } from '@reogrid/font-jp';

registerPdfFont('ja', notoSansJP);   // all three weights
await preloadPdfFont('ja');                // once, at app start

grid.saveAsPdf({ locale: 'ja', filename: 'report.pdf' });

Bold cells print with real Bold outlines instead of a stroked approximation. To keep the download to a single face, register just that one:

import { loadNotoSansJPRegular } from '@reogrid/font-jp';
registerPdfFont('ja', loadNotoSansJPRegular);

The per-weight form needs @reogrid/pro 1.6.0 or newer. Older versions accept the single-face form above.

What is in it

| | | |---|---| | Upstream | notosansjp @ 7ff85c87f9 | | Characters | 6,979 (EUC-JP repertoire + ASCII + ¥₩€£¢) | | Upstream | 9.15 MB (variable) | | Thin — NotoSansJP-Thin.ttf | 2559 KB | | Regular — NotoSansJP-Regular.ttf | 2557 KB | | Bold — NotoSansJP-Bold.ttf | 2557 KB |

Each weight is a plain static face: fvar/gvar are gone, OS/2.usWeightClass is set, and the name table says which weight it is. A consumer that embeds glyf outlines without applying variations — which is what a PDF engine does — therefore draws the weight you asked for. (Upstream's variable font defaults to wght 100, which is why embedding it directly produces a hairline document.)

Characters outside that repertoire fall back to .notdef — pass your own font bytes to registerPdfFont if you need wider coverage.

Without a bundler

The .ttf files are published in the package, so a CDN serves them directly:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@reogrid/[email protected]/NotoSansJP-Regular.ttf

That is where ReoGrid's built-in { locale: 'ja' } font comes from when you have not registered anything yourself.
