Rather surprisingly, the version uploaded to the GitHub releases is
actually fine, but the version on CTAN is broken:
$ wget -O ctan.ttf
'https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/lxgw-fonts/LXGWNeoXiHei.ttf'
$ wget
'https://github.com/myhsia/LXGW-CTAN/releases/download/2026-03-23/lxgw-fonts.zip'
$ unzip -p lxgw-fonts.zip lxgw-fonts/LXGWNeoXiHei.ttf > github.ttf
$ wget -O upstream.ttf
'https://github.com/lxgw/LxgwNeoXiHei/releases/download/v1.242/LXGWNeoXiHei.ttf'
$ sha256sum *.ttf

$ du --bytes *.ttf

$ for x in *.ttf; do printf '%s\t%s\n' $x "$(strings $x | grep Version)";
done
ctan.ttf 2Version 1.242;February 27, 2026LXGW Neo XiHei:Version 1.242

1.242
I suspect that the file got corrupted somehow during/after the upload,
in which case, no amount of testing could realistically prevent this.
Thanks,
