Kanji Font Option


I have run http://aule-browser.com/kanji/kanjidic2-joyo-hz-2.html through a regexp to set a span around the Japanese joyo kanji English definitions so that you can download the page and set your own "dfn" style for a local version of your own.

At the moment I am using Garamond for the English meanings, but I am open to suggestions.  The kanji remain in HanaminA from the Hanazono Mincho font project.

The page is just HTML+CSS (no JavaScript) so no need for a snapshot here - just stop by and see if it looks useful.

Each day I re-arrange the order of the kanji somewhat.

If you would like a page with fewer meanings from Kanjidic2 or have an alternate meaning to suggest, just leave a comment or mail robertATaule-browser.com

Seven Degrees From Home


Over at my Joyo Kanji page there are now links across some dictionary entries.

For example, there are seven links looping a chain through "house" (but not yet the counters for houses, or greenhouse or warehouse or castle ...)

If you have the Hanazono Mincho font already installed, the page will load promptly as the CSS stylesheet is now set to look for a local font first.

Joyo Kanji Journey


Over at my jōyō kanji (2010) page with the HanaMinA font, I have started subtle changes in the first chapter of their series (so to speak.)

A linear series of over 2000 kanji dictionary entries is not quite as limiting as it might seem.

Can you start a story at the top and continue down with the tale?

If you make your own snapshot of the page, you can improve on the arrangement to your own liking.  Then rearrange the page of kanji-only.  Aha!

N.B.  On your own web versions, please credit the Kanjidic2 project where appropriate.
