To give you an idea, many Japanese fonts that foreigner like to use ("because they look pretty") end up feeling to a Japanese, the way Comic Sans feels to a Western designer. Also best not to go too much into exotic fonts unless you know exactly what you are doing. In conclusion: best stick with Japanese fonts for regular Japanese text. So unless you are writing a very small piece of text and there is a very specific reason you want some Chinese font, you should probably stay away from them. If you want to use a Chinese font to write Japanese text, you will indeed need to use one that supports traditional characters ( traditional and simplified characters use different unicode code points, btw).īut in addition to the set of Japan-specific reformed kanji, this Chinese font is unlikely to support kana: reformed kanji would appear weird (/archaic-looking) and another font would be substituted for kana, with a less than optimal visual result. Japanese code points are overall the same as Chinese traditional ones, with many small differences (aforementioned simplifications from the 1946 kanji revision).
There is only one standard set of characters, which includes a few simplifications decided after the war (学 etc): nobody uses old-style characters in daily life. First off: Not sure what you mean by 'simplified' vs 'traditional' train wreck.
