Package: ttf-kochi-mincho
Version: 1.0.20030809-3
Severity: normal
While trying to input the Japanese word tsumetai, I found that the kanji
for the "tsume" part doesn't look the same as in my (paper) japanese
lessons in several Japanese fonts including ttf-kochi-mincho. I found at
least one font set that displays it the same: the fonts in the
ttf-mikachan package (also maintained by GOTO Masanori, that's why I
chose ttf-kochi-mincho for my bug report).
To find the character, for example, use the program gucharmap, and
search for "U+51B7" or input the kanji, then compare the display of the
selected glyph using the font Kochi Mincho then the font Mikachan.
To have a detailed look at it, use the program fontforge with
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-mincho.ttf and with
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/mikachan/mikachan.ttf, browse (View/Goto) to
U+51B7, and look at the two different truetype drawings.

A link here with a movie showing somebody actually drawing it:

A link here giving some doubts (because it shows the two kinds of
picture for the glyph, maybe the 1st picture was autogenerated from
a wrong font?):

My Japanese knowledge is very limited, but I didn't find hints that the
two pictures are to be considered equivalent nor that this issue has
been known anywhere. If there is an explaination why they would be
equivalent, please let me know and close the bug.
