中文字體的組成包含漢字與符號，其中符號又可分為拉丁、數字、標符、日文Kana等，以繁體中文Big-5的規格為例，漢字所佔字元數的比例高達94%，如何有一個順暢的字體開發流程，以及高效率的造字系統是一個攸關字體產出效率的重要課題。

所謂萬丈高樓平地起，一款優秀的字體必須建築在前端的造型發想與筆畫設計，目前漢字的開發大多以漢字的最小組成單位「筆畫」來進行字體結構的組成，以「筆畫」為單位的開發方式，具有效率較高、利於修改與維護的優點。

下圖為文鼎的中文字體開發流程，從最左方的設計造型開始，經過筆畫分析、筆畫繪製的前期準備作業後，進行少量的試造字開發，當中評估設計細節、開發製程、技術，通過核可後，就進入穩定但期程最長的大量造字階段了，以繁體中文為例，一款字體在大量造字階段約需9個月的時間來完成，其後就進入字體美感品質與字體工程品質審核的品管字審階段，以上這些關鍵流程，在開發過程中如果有發現需要改善的地方，就會退回到前面階段，進行檢視與評估，確保字體產品在有品質、有計劃、有效率的情境下完成。

流程關鍵點解說：

1. 筆畫分析
   依字體造型，選擇合適的筆畫代表字進行筆畫的拆解與繪製，完成筆畫分析表，以文鼎UD晶熙黑體為例，繪製680個筆畫即可完成13060個中文漢字的組成。
   
   
2. 大量造字
   此階段主要執行以筆畫組成漢字的作業，透過文鼎字型開發的造字程式，將已經設計好的筆畫置入工作區，透過設計師的美感來進行建構組合。
   
   
3. 品管字審
   字體美感品質_
   這是很重要的工作，通常一套中文字型需要2~5個設計師協作，主設計師(chief designer)就需要監修各個設計師的產出，以確保整套字體的品質。通常這個工作是和大量造字並行，而且會循環多次。字體工程品質_
   此為產品化前最後一個階段，目的在確保每個字元筆畫位置、筆畫接筆、外框曲線、控制點數量等沒有瑕疵

4. 產品化

   將設計好的漢字、拉丁(Latin)及符號整合轉成TrueType/OpenType字型檔，並在Windows和MacOS上的軟體測試，通過測試後由產品經理派發至ifontCloud銷售平台進行上架銷售。
