Your fonts that are Unicode Japanese capable


This morning I wrote a nihongo fonts applet … a Curl browser applet (Linux, Mac, Windows) that shows which (if any) of your fonts on your device can display the Japanese Unicode character "zen" 禅 character … or it advises you that you have no such fonts … or advises you that you still have not installed the Curl 8 browser plugin.

The fonts true name (for use in a CSS or Curl style) is displayed in that font … as is the test character 禅. The font-size is 24pt. The next version will make that font size user-selectable as em or pt.

The title line is in the first of your Asian-capable Unicode fonts (by alphabetical order.) The entire applet is only a couple of lines of procedural-style Curl and then the applet ends with the layout as a simple declarative-style Curl expression.

I can send you the desktop app version by request.
