Df Gothic Japanese Font Free Download

The kanji characters in Microsoft YaHei are those of Simplified Chinese, which are different from those of Japanese. The font also contains Japanese hiragana and katakana, which, however, look strange to Japanese users. (The two letters I highlighted are different characters, but they are very hard to distinguish in this font.)

I'm having trouble using CSS to specify a Japanese font on some text in a way that Safari will accept. There's a widely-used Japanese font called MS Gothic. Here's the font's page on the Microsoft site.

I am working on a japanese website and have a hard time finding a font which looks good in japanese. I was surprised that so few fonts seem to exist for japanese. My team has contacted several web font providers without much success. Only one company could offer a web font for japanese but it was 35 megabytes which is far to big for the clients to download to their browsers.

Web-font for Japanese, though there are few providers exist, is not really practical as you found the size of the font data is too big to download. Usually Japanese font has 8,000-16,000 glyph so making new fonts means you need to make at least 8,000 glyph, which is pretty heavy task. As a result of it, there are very few variations in Japanese fonts, and Japanese users also care about fonts less than Latin-character users.

Most Japanese websites use default font sets provided on Windows or Mac. The latest ones are Meiryo and Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro. For older versions such like Windows XP, it is good to add former default fonts MS Gothic(or MS Mincho)/Osaka.

Something I learned working here: some Japanese prefer Gothic or other fonts over Mincho fonts, as Mincho looks more "Chinese" according to some. None of the companies above use Mincho as evidence to that. Like it or not, I guess that's something to keep in mind when branding.

This is an old thread but for anyone doing research on this now, you should note that Meiryo is no longer a standard font loaded with Windows. Since Windows 10, the new default font is Yu Gothic. You can still install Meiryo manually however. Please see this article

I am no font/design expert, but just about every Japanese PC should have basic Latin fonts like the ones you mentioned installed, so they will work. But those fonts give a kind of Western look to Japanese characters. If you want to use fonts that Japanese sites typically use I would start by browsing some of the more popular Japanese sites and using things like Firebug or the Chrome developer tools to examine the CSS and see what fonts they reference. For example, yahoo.co.jp currently has this CSS:

The "gothic" typeface fonts seem fairly popular these days: on Windows, fonts like MS Gothic, MS PGothic, etc. Ming typeface is also widely used. These are the default browser font settings for Firefox on my Japanese Windows machine:

BTW, the "Osaka" font was a standard font on Japanese Macs in the 90s. Unless you want that "retro" feel, is highly recommended to use "Hiragino Sans" (not Kaku Gothic that's deprecated) for macOS and iOS devices for a consistent and modern look and better legibility. Also Hiragino Sans has far more font weights (10) than Kaku Gothic (only 2).

For whom may come in the future, there is a great (long and deep) article on this very matter written by a japanese copywriter: The Most Comprehensive Guide to Web Typography in Japanese or in the archive.org, because there is apparently an issue on mhdigital.

'Noto Sans CJK JP' is also available for Ubuntu linux. It is provided as an official package "fonts-noto-cjk". Still manual installation is required, it is expected to have it installed on Japanese Ubuntu machines.

I am using Windows 7 and have set font smoothing to ClearType. However, Japanese characters display very roughly throughout the operating system. What can I do so they are rendered smoothly like other characters?

Mactype is an open source replacement (among others, but right now it's the most updated) for Windows font renderer based on FreeType. It will just skip those bitmaps and use the outlines to output smooth characters.

Now we have stripped font files, we can rename those font names (which is independent from font file names), like to MS Gothic NB - No Bitmap, to use alongside with the old fonts, or just use the old name and replace the original ttc file, which is a little tricker.

Either way we need to pack them again to a ttc file in order to install back to Windows. Use the tool MAKETTC which is in the same folder as BREAKTTC or you can also find them here. Run

After getting the ttc file, if you have changed the font name you just directly copy them to \Windows\Fonts to register it as a new font and change the default font in UI, apps... to that font. If you want to use the old font name you must boot from another OS like Linux live USB or Windows PE because Windows always load MS Gothic at boot time.

This depends on the font. Different fonts have different characteristics, including different behavior in font smoothing. You might be using a font in the Mincho group, as they are commonly used as default fonts and they may have problems like this; Gothic fonts may work better on screen.

So, the solution lies in using larger font sizes or replacing the default Japanese font uses in an application with one that supports hinted characters for all sizes (e.g. Arial Unicode).

When I was searching for a mobile app that lets you practice writing hiragana, I noticed that a lot of them uses the Gothic font, meaning that will be written as 2 strokes and not 3. The most common font in educational textbook uses with 3 strokes, and is the recommended font in Japan. So I want to ask you guys something.

Do you think this is a potential problem? Because I heard some beginners being confused with differences in , and on Gothic font and textbook font. I feel this can be distracting when starting to learn Japanese.

That may be true, but with the Gothic (sans-serif) font I have always considered the second stroke to be a two-part stroke. So while it's technically only two strokes, I think of it as a character written with three parts.

No, it's just a font thing. Some fonts will change the characters in different ways, just like you see in English with the various ways to write lowercase letter 'a.' It's just one more thing for a beginning Japanese learner to learn.

I don't think that it matters too much, but most of the learning materials I used to learn Japanese actually favored the Minch (serif) font. It's not of vital importance what font you use, so long as you are able to recognize the characters involved.

Ultimately, the better you get at reading Japanese, the less various fonts will trip you up. So I would recommend using a clean font to start, and progressing from there. There's no need to hide from the various fonts, because they'll pop up frequently.

That being said, however, since you are writing an app to help learners of the language, I would personally suggest that you use the Minch font. This is because you will find that most newspapers and books published in Japan use the Minch font.

Japanese font-family can be hard to search for while figuring out all their differences and whether they are still supported. Because different OS have different available fonts, it is especially hard to check for how they are displayed on your website.

Yu Fonts are characterized by the lightness of its appearance. This is because of its thin strokes and smaller characters that opens up more space in between. Yu Fonts are the only font available on both Windows and macOS platforms.

I am working on a Calc document that contains text in Japanese and English. I want all of the Japanese characters to use the MS Gothic font, and all of the English and numbers to use the Calibri font.

If you are publishing a responsive design project I suggest you select a web font that would be available on most systems or an Adobe font that is compatible with Japanese. Arial is a Microsoft system font but I believe Japanese isn't supported. Microsoft released Arial Unicode MS as a way to support international characters. Unfortunately, Microsoft has stopped supporting Arial Unicode MS but you might be able to find the font for your system. Here is a document about that:
