The following are some cdnjs mirrors for mainland China, which have high service stability and low latency.

  • cdn.bootcdn.net
  • www.staticfile.org
  • cdn.baomitu.com
  • ...
<!-- example of mirror cdn.bootcdn.net-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.bootcdn.net/ajax/libs/lxgw-wenkai-webfont/1.6.0/style.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.bootcdn.net/ajax/libs/lxgw-wenkai-screen-webfont/1.6.0/style.min.css" />

Attention: ONLY webfont LXGW WenKai and its screen version LXGW WenKai Screen are available at cdnjs, whose version is both the latest 1.6.0. So are the mirrors.

Use specific font weights

You can also include specific weights if you don't want to use all the font weights or don't want to use mono font. For example:

@import 'lxgw-wenkai-webfont/lxgwwenkai-regular.css';
@import 'lxgw-wenkai-webfont/lxgwwenkai-bold.css';
body {
  font-family: "LXGW WenKai", sans-serif;
}

Lite version and TC version also support the same way. To know what css modules are available, please check out the npm package.
