Thank you for irrelevant tips. Either you have no idea what you're talking
about, or conversely, you know exactly what you are talking about but just
don't understand the point. Let me explain it more clearly.

Had you bothered to look at a table of JIS212 kanji inside of Firefox, the
rendition of JIS212 in Firefox/Netscape (Mac) uses more than one font...
Some characters display bitmapped, some true typed. Some with letting set
high some low. Some with heavy weight, some brush stroked, some simply line
drawings. I did not say it uses ONE ugly font I don't like. It does this
for EVERY Japanese font on my machine. Your comments are true for JIS208
kanji, but have nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
