In Korea, most typefaces use the Kangxi forms. After the postwar kanji reforms in Japan, most of the Kangxi style characters were called kyūjitai (old style), while the reformed characters were called shinjitai, causing newer dictionaries to either incorporate both styles or omit the Kangxi styles. Unlike the mainland standard, the Taiwan standard uses mostly preexisting character forms. In Taiwan, the Standard Form of National Characters specifies the modern standardized forms. Others differ because they use a different variant or orthography. Some characters in the list differ from the Kangxi forms solely because they are Simplified. In mainland China, the modern standardized character forms are specified in the List of Commonly Used Characters in Modern Chinese. The styling of the strokes used in old Ming typefaces came from the style used in the Kangxi Dictionary. Some of the differences are caused by character simplification, while others are purely orthographic differences such as stroke styling. Often there are different ways to write the same Chinese character these are collectively referred to as variant Chinese characters.

Some type foundries use 'Song' to refer to this style of typeface that follows a standard such as the Standard Form of National Characters, and “Ming” to refer to typefaces that resemble forms found in the Kangxi dictionary. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, “ Song typeface” ( 宋体) has been used but “ Ming typeface” ( 明體) has increased currency since the advent of desktop publishing. In Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, Ming is prevalent. In Mainland China, the most common name is Song (the Mainland Chinese standardized Ming typeface in Microsoft Windows being named SimSun).
The names Song (or Sung) and Ming correspond to the Song Dynasty when a distinctive printed style of regular script was developed, and the Ming Dynasty during which that style developed into the Ming typeface style.
