<p><a href="http://web.hku.hk/~jwilam/chinese/font.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://web.hku.hk/~jwilam/chinese/font.htm</a></p>

<p>There's two:</p>

<ul>
<li>bnucdp.ttf</li>
<li>ebas927.ttf (link broken; try <a href="https://www.moedict.tw/fonts/truetype/cns11643/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.moedict.tw/fonts/truetype/cns11643/</a>)</li>
</ul>

<p>Note that 說文 records many variants, so the default one that appears when you type Chinese may not be the "orthodox variant" that you're looking for (I know from experience because I've used these fonts before). If you're good at reading seal script, you should open the font with a character map to get the unicode directly to type the variant you want.</p>

<p>Also, many characters that we use today may not have existed as a seal script character. They may have used another character for the same word, or the word just didn't exist back then. You can't do anything in this case except construct your own seal script character for those.</p>

<p>These problems I've mentioned might be the same problem you're having with your existing set of 9 fonts, and you may have these two fonts already.</p>

@水巷孑蠻 Try https://www.moedict.tw/fonts/truetype/cns11643/ instead. I don't know of anything that's specifically macOS, sorry. You should ask OP, who said they have a collection of 9 fonts.

By the way, 大篆 is not a script style - it's what calligraphers would call pre-Qin writing.

There's two:

* bnucdp.ttf
* ebas927.ttf (link broken; try <https://www.moedict.tw/fonts/truetype/cns11643/>)

Note that 說文 records many variants, so the default one that appears when you type Chinese may not be the "orthodox variant" that you're looking for (I know from experience because I've used these fonts before). If you're good at reading seal script, you should open the font with a character map to get the unicode directly to type the variant you want.

Also, many characters that we use today may not have existed as a seal script character. They may have used another character for the same word, or the word just didn't exist back then. You can't do anything in this case except construct your own seal script character for those.

These problems I've mentioned might be the same problem you're having with your existing set of 9 fonts, and you may have these two fonts already.

<https://www.fonts.net.cn/font-34546210551.html>

Does it have better coverage for what you're working on? It has the best coverage of the fonts I've been looking through for the small seal script.

Some other search terms that look promising on that site:

白舟 (Hakasyu/Hakashu who makes that font I listed above. Their website is: <http://www.hakusyu.com/index.php>)

小篆 (small seal script)

秦篆 (another name for small seal script)

篆書 (seal script)

大篆 (large seal)

甲骨文 (oracle bone script)

龜甲獸骨文字 (longer name for oracle bone script)

These don't provide much as search results on that font site but they might be useful terms for people who find themselves here:
