I wanted to download hiragana characters, but I found it impossible to do so. Why do you make it so difficult?
I downloaded them did you follow the instructions?
ya click the link and find the text in the picture below said link.
Just to help…
Where it says LINK and then the Red Box with “Font homepage and download”…that is the link button but BELOW that it shows you a bigger grey box with a highlighted line of Japanese text which is a copy of the link to look for on the page after you click on the red homepage link box.
I do hope this makes it easier.
thanks for the explanation! I think I need to reword it to make it clearer…
These fonts are rotated 90° and the names started with “@”. Help?
AH nevermind! I just had to scroll down and select the font without the “@” (which is apparently for vertical writing) — yes both versions are available.
