Although Meiryo includes true italic and bold italics, these styles only apply to the Latin characters-the Japanese characters remain upright when italic styling is applied.ДЄ variation of Meiryo, called Meiryo UI, is preferred in the ribbon command user interface. Malgun Gothic, Microsoft JhengHei, and Microsoft YaHei are supplied in regular and bold styles only, meaning italic characters are synthesized by slanting the upright styles. Use of italic versions of these fonts is not recommended. Malgun Gothic, Microsoft JhengHei, and Microsoft YaHei use a customized Segoe UI.

Meiryo includes Latin characters based on Verdana. These include Meiryo for Japanese, Malgun Gothic for Korean, Microsoft JhengHei for Chinese (Traditional), Microsoft YaHei for Chinese (Simplified), Gisha for Hebrew, and Leelawadee for Thai, and the ClearType Collection fonts designed for document use. There are new fonts, also optimized for ClearType, created for other character sets and uses. Segoe UI includes Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Arabic characters. This factor determines when you should use Segoe UI. Without ClearType enabled, Segoe UI is only marginally acceptable. With ClearType enabled, Segoe UI is an elegant, readable font. Segoe UI is optimized for ClearType, which is on by default in Windows. It was designed to be a humanist sans serif with no strong character or distracting quirkiness. The typeface is meant to give the same visual effect on screen and in print. It has the characteristics of a humanist sans serif: the varying widths of its capitals (narrow E and S, for instance, compared with Helvetica, where the widths are more alike, fairly wide) the stress and letterforms of its lowercase and its true italic (rather than an 'oblique' or slanted roman, like many industrial-looking sans serifs). Segoe UI is an approachable, open, and friendly typeface, and as a result has better readability than Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif, and Arial. Segoe is a branding font used by Microsoft and partners to produce material for print and advertising.
