Open Stack

I'll give it a shot in the next week. If the Japanese version of the source for the guide is posted somewhere, point me to it and I can test with it. Otherwise, I'll just find some random Japanese text and create a test doc of my own.

Thanks,
David

Hi Tom, David,

My preferred "free" Japanese font is IPAex Fonts[1].
This fonts support Japanese characters and English characters.
IPAex Gothic font is suitable for a Japanese document.

Because fonts size is too big,
could you please download the fonts from websites[1]?

Thanks.
