Microsoft YaHei (Chinese: 微软雅黑; pinyin: Wēiruǎn Yǎhēi) is a sans-serifgothictypeface created by Founder Electronics and Monotype Corporation under commission from Microsoft. Hinting for the font was undertaken by Monotype Imaging.[1] The CJK ideographic characters were designed by the Founder Electronics foundry's senior designer, Li Qi (齐立).[2][3]

Development[edit]
Deskjet 952c driver windows 7. Development began in 2004 when Microsoft commissioned Beijing Founder Electronics Co., Ltd. for a ClearType font for use in the simplified Chinese version of Windows Vista as default font.[4]
The ideographs in YaHei were based on a previous sans-serif font family the same designer had made in the early 1990s which, like YaHei, did not feature flared stroke terminals. Changes to the prototype fonts include redesigning the hook stroke with a longer end, the addition of 'foot' ending stroke terminal, readjusting the black and white proportions of glyphs, the introduction of dents in stroke path outlines that intersect other stroke path outlines, and flattening the diagonal dot stroke top at the top of the glyph. YaHei is optimized for screen use.[5]
Microsoft YaHei[edit]
The font family originally includes two fonts in regular and bold weights: named
MSYH.TTF
and 'Microsoft YaHei Bold' in a separate file, MSYHBD.TTF
. OpenType features include vertical writing.Microsoft YaHei has been distributed with Windows since Windows Vista, and is the default user interface font when the language is set to Simplified Chinese. It aims to be more legible than its SimSun predecessor when used with ClearType. It is also included in the Simplified Chinese version of Microsoft Office2007.
Downloading and installing the Simplified Chinese ClearType fonts for Windows XP from Microsoft also makes Microsoft YaHei available on Windows XP.[6]
The font file contains all 20,902 original CJK Unified Ideographs code points specified in Unicode, plus approximately 80 code points defined by the Standardization Administration of China. It supports the GBK character set, with localized glyphs.
Semilight, Semibold and Heavy weight fonts were introduced with Windows 10 Redstone 4 (Spring Creators update).[7]
Microsoft YaHei UI[edit]
Microsoft YaHei UI, a version of Microsoft YaHei with alternate character design and reduced line height, was introduced with Windows 8.[8] As part of Microsoft YaHei update, Microsoft YaHei UI is included in a TTC file along with Microsoft YaHei.
Founder Electronics versions[edit]
Founder Electronics versions of the fonts are released in various character sets depending on family: GB2312-80(with simplified Chinese characters), GB12345-90(with traditional Chinese characters), GBK(with simplified and traditional Chinese characters), BIG-5(for Hong Kong and Taiwan region), GB18030-2000(includes GBK and all Big-5 characters mapped to Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs and Extension A).

From Microsoft Typography - Font Redistribution FAQ
Q. What can I do with the fonts supplied with Microsoft products?
A. The fonts are governed by the same restrictions as the products they are supplied with. You are not allowed to copy, redistribute or reverse engineer the font files. For full details see the license agreement supplied with the product.
There is the option of 'embedding' fonts:
Microsoft Yahei Ui Light Font
Q. Can I embed Microsoft fonts in my documents?
A. Embedding allows fonts to travel with documents. Most fonts distributed with Microsoft products allow embedding. To check a font's embedding permissions, right-click on the font file and choose 'Properties'.
I strongly doubt distributing them as font-face is seen as embedding them into the document, because the font resource is downloaded in full, as a separate entity. I would still check with MS first, especially if you have any kind of notable exposure (big company etc.).
