Does anybody know more fonts able to display Japanese? – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 17:57, February 23, 2007 (GMT)

Is there any way...

we can make this so that it displays the rollover "underline" when someone puts in something that is actually meant to be rollovered, but hide it when nobody bothers to put anything in? Air Conditioner --.- --.- --..! 19:56, 6 January 2013 (EST)

This makes sense, will look into it. Toomai Glittershine The Yellow 20:28, 6 January 2013 (EST)

In addition, this is quite minor, but I think the example should be something other than Smiddle's name. Air Conditioner Number nine, number nine... 20:48, 6 January 2013 (EST)

Font selection

Does anyone here actually have Code2000 installed? What kind of font is "EPSON"? I think this is a bit old and needs an update somehow. Toomai Glittershine The Chilled 10:16, 1 May 2014 (EDT)

Looks like the there is EPSON True Regular Script font, and it's available for download (although with restriction "Only when you are using with Epson printer." – [1]). 188.146.98.213 16:43, July 28, 2019 (EDT)

Amendment to the rollover

Any reason not to add an optional parameter to make the rollover a romaji reading of the Japanese text? This would allow the pronunciation to be visible (which is somewhat useful) but removes the clutter of having it fill the first line of an article in addition to a translation.

We can already do {{ja|Japanese text|rollover text}}, I'm not sure what you mean. Toomai Glittershine The Hammer 23:30, 30 November 2014 (EST)

...then why aren't we using it? For example, wouldn't:

Mushroom Kingdom II (いにしえの王国II, Ancient Kingdom II)

...be better than our current usage, which has:

Mushroom Kingdom II (いにしえの王国II, Inishie no ōkoku II, Ancient Kingdom II)

Seems like a cleaner result if we utilize that rollover. Miles (talk) 17:58, 1 December 2014 (EST)

Makes sense to me. Maybe people don't know it's there (even though it's listed on the template page as a possibility)? Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 18:11, 1 December 2014 (EST)
