Hello, I've got a client who's looking for support for Japanese fonts
in an HTML editor (HTMLArea). I am not concerned with the JavaScript
and the HTMLArea stuff - this is not the list for that discussion.
However, I'm having difficulty finding any information on the
appropriate way to represent the following font families they're
requesting: MS P Gothic and MS P Mincho. I have tried to Google for
some answers but so far have only come up with limited information.
Does anyone have any prior experience with this?
I guess what I'm looking for is some example like:
font-family: /* font-family for each of these here */
Here is what I use:
body { font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro',
'ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3', Osaka, 'ＭＳ Ｐゴシック', sans-serif; }
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, strong, b {font-weight: bold} /* must be
specified, some browsers don't bold otherwise */
This works fine across browser-land, except for Omniweb (will be fixed
in a next release) and Opera 7.5 Mac.
Linux is a bit of a problem to specify a font (too many variations
across the distros), but falls back on the default specified in the
browser (and most Linux users know how to handle that).
I recommend against using Serif fonts, they are *very* hard to read on
screen.
XP doesn't do font-smoothing under 18-19px for Japanese text.
