Free Download Japanese Font Style

When you download the tarball for the current snapshot ( -fonts/mplus_outline_fonts/?view=tar) or check out these files via CVS the unpacked directory contains the Illustrator and EPS files, makefile template and scripts necessary to build the TTFs with fontforge.

I have been working on a website that has pages in English and Japanese. My client has supplied me with the written content in both languages. She wants me to use a particular Japanese font. I have downloaded the font and attempted to install it through the Webflow dashboard. The problem is that the Japanese font file is 15MB and Webflow allows no more than a 2MB font file upload.

It seems like she wants it in a Japanese font other than the one she wrote it in. But if this is so, do you think the solution is to have her write it in the font that she wants to be online. Because we are now able to view a Japanese font (the one she wrote it in I presume).

What my little decoding in Inspector on your site it definately looks like Open Sans is currently being used. In which case you may not have so much of a problem afterall. The Typekit route also would be very beneficial considering they host the font files for you

If I understand you correctly, you want to use a Japanese font inside Beaver builder and use this as the default font on your site. Is this correct, you may want to check out this topic which should assist you.

It sounds like it could be a font issue. Check to see if a font is defined in the styling section or on the card templates. If there is one, you should make sure that font is in the media folder. One of the most commonly used fonts that works well with Japanese is Noto Sans Japanese.

This might help you: Anki Manual - Styling & HTML. It goes through the basics of using CSS to style a card, and has an example of making a style that defines a font.

If you are unable to install a font, or want to be able to export the font with your deck, Installing Fonts might be a helpful section of the manual as well.

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 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.

We are creating a site that uses both Japanese and English. We want to get away from the default Japanese fonts which can't use ClearType. Is there a way to tell the browser to use a different Japanese font JUST for Japanese characters (Like Meiryo) and another font just for latin characters (Like Helvetica) on the same page? We don't want any English words to use the Meiryo font.

However, this doesn't work in IE. Even if we specify Helvetica, Verdana, or any other widely available font first and then the Japanese font in the CSS, IE will still use the Japanese font for English words. Firefox, Chrome, etc. work as expected.

I have a lot of issues with the regular fonts because I seeing even a bit of the stroke order in the kanji helps me differentiate them. What are some nice fonts where I could get a feel for the stroke order, something that would look as close to something written by a real person?

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).

This problem still exists in version 1.8 (build 898); In addition, English fonts are smaller than Chinese fonts, which leads to the fact that Chinese strings cannot be displayed completely in some narrow spaces.

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.

Setting a style does not always work, at least in Writer. I apparently cannot include a screenshot here, but selecting a block of text in SimSun into which I have typed latin alphanumerics (I am translating the document) leaves them in SimSun. I would like all western text in this paragraph to use e.g. Book Antiqua, so following the advice of this post I defined a style in which western text should use Book Antiqua while Asian text should use SimSun. Selecting a block of text and applying the style sometimes produces the desired result and other times does not; the western text remains in SimSun. I just did this in a Writer document table in which each cell contained Chinese characters and western letters, and the western text changed to Book Antiqua in only some of the cells (table is 4x3 plus top title box: the title box, C1, D2, & D3 remained in SimSun). Before upgrading to the latest version earlier this week, I did not have this problem.

And even if I load the font I want and it is specifically for an language like Japanese or Korean it wont show those letters (unless I'm loading the wrong font?) and instead either junk letters or an "?".

But from what I understand when it comes to non-latin letters it's basically just having a alternative font for it, yes?

Because even now when I did get the font to work, it still wont show non-latin letters.

I open a new instance of urxvt. I used Google Translate for some quick phrases and I then pasted the glyphs into the terminal:

As for the input method you're using, I have no idea if that is correct. e24fc04721
