Hi author here, I was posting on HN this week to get more interests on my recent progress on reviving zi2zi project.

Motivation behind the project is that I feel font generation has made a long way after zi2zi, but feels still not quite live up to my expectation where it can become a practical technology in creating fonts people can use.

zi2zi-JiT is thus created during last Christmas, aiming to create production grade CJK fonts that can be seen/used in everyday life, instead of simply being a research project.

So far, I have created 2 full set Chinese fonts using zi2zi-JiT, each with 6,763 Chinese characters created (GB2312 standard), from ancient Chinese books/caligraphies:

All created in matters of 2-3 days, and free for commercial uses.

There are still some issue with current approach, but I am happy to hear you guys feedbacks and improve from here :)
