Title: Japanese fonts
Post by: Jigsaw on March 23, 2010, 12:15:01 PM
After some discussion in the Super Famicom cover thread, I put together and uploaded a pack with my Japanese fonts, since the ones that come with Windows aren't very versatile or exciting, and finding new ones isn't quite as easy as finding your typical alphanumeric font... but I figure that they may be of interest to people who don't necessarily follow every single thread on these forums, so I wanted to share them and make sure they don't go by unnoticed by people who might want them.

I really have no idea where this should go, but since I couldn't start a thread in the templates and guides forum (it's nether a template nor guide of course, but as a resource I thought it the most fitting) I decided to just post here. Any admin who can think of a better place for this thread (and download link), feel free to move it wherever you want.

Here's a little preview of six randomly selected fonts:

All in all there are 59 fonts in various styles, and the file weighs in at 122MB.

Smashing. I've been meaning to get some decent kana fonts.

I should perhaps note, if it wasn't clear, that these won't do you much good unless you have Japanese language support installed and are actually able to type Japanese text. Just a heads-up.
