Tangut Scan Fonts
Description
These are a set of fonts covering Tangut glyphs from various sources, mapped to the PUA. The fonts were created from scanned images of the source glyphs, and the quality of the resultant font glyphs is generally quite poor. These fonts are not intended for use in typesetting Tangut text, but were created in order to facilitate mapping of Tangut characters between sources (see Tangut Data). All fonts are in the public domain, and you may use or modify the fonts as you wish, without restriction.
See BabelStone Tangut Wenhai for a higher quality Tangut scan font mapped to the Tangut code points defined in Unicode version 9.0 (released in June 2016).
