Kanji Stroke Order Font v4.004 ============================== Released 9 September 2020 ====================== Latest version at: https://www.nihilist.org.uk INTRODUCTION This font provides an easy way to view stroke order diagrams for over 6500 kanji, over 180 kana symbols, the Latin characters and quite a few other symbols. I have also used it as a dumping ground for my own character creation doodles. My hope is that this font will assist people who are learning kanji. I also hope it will help teachers of Japanese in the preparation of classroom material. Beware that Japanese stroke order can differ from the stroke order used in other languages that use Chinese characters. HOW TO INSTALL AND USE THIS FONT Install this font as you would any other TrueType font. In the parts of your document where you want the kanji to be annotated with stroke order numbers simply set your document's font to KanjiStrokeOrders. You will need to set the size of the font to be large to allow the stroke order numbers to show up: 100pt seems to be the minimum usable size. As of version v4.003, KSOF works with Microsoft Word on Macintosh as well as with Microsoft Word for Windows. This was the most significant change from v4.001 to v4.002. If you use the Anki flashcard program then the Anki website includes some instructions on using custom fonts (such as KSOF) with that package. One user reported needing to rename the font filename to remove the version number to get it to work with AnkiDroid. I have had one report from the field of Mac OS X 10.4.11 complaining about missing OpenType data, although this does not happen with OS X 10.5. I am told that KSOF works fine on OS X 10.4.11 if you ignore the warning, so it's nothing to worry about. Thanks are due to Phil for reporting this.

In particular, the licence permits: 1. Use of the font for producing documents, including commercial documents. 2. Redistribution of the font, provided you leave the copyright notice intact.

The kanji stroke order diagrams remain under the copyright of Ulrich Apel and the AAAA and Wadoku projects. If you find this font useful then please consider making a donation to the Wadoku project by pointing your Web browser at http://www.wadoku.de and clicking on "Spenden". INTEGRATION WITH JWPCE This font enables you to view kanji stroke orders in JWPce. Set the "Big Kanji Font" to KanjiStrokeOrders in the Options dialog. Some kanji stroke order diagrams might show a different stroke count to that reported by JWPce in the same kanji information window. This is because some kanji have more than one valid stroke count. TECHNICAL INFORMATION I created this font by using the Batik library to convert the AAAA and Wadoku projects' SVG files into high-resolution PNG images. I turned these into a font using Fontforge. I use Fontforge for ongoing development. The Kanji Stroke Order Font includes all the characters defined by JIS X 0208:1997, plus many more. EXAMPLES Included in this archive are two examples of the use of this font with popular office software. They are in PDF format. CORRECTIONS As the changelog below shows, users have found quite a few errors in the stroke orders diagrams. There are probably more. If you find any errors please let me know by email: mail |at| nihilist (dot) org (dot) uk. You can expect your changes to appear once enough fixes have accumulated to make a new release worthwhile. When reporting an error, please tell me what you think is wrong with the kanji and provide a link to a reference if possible. While working on this font I was interested to find that references generally considered to be authoratitive sometimes disagree on stroke order and even stroke count. U+53CE 収 and U+6E1B 減 are examples of kanji that vary in documented stroke order. Furthermore, the well-respected reference Kanjidic lists hundreds of kanji with multiple valid stroke counts. Appendix E of the Kanjidic documentation discusses stroke counts in detail. If you are not sure whether a character needs correcting please let me know anyway so I can investigate. My primary reference is http://kakijun.jp/. OPENTYPE FEATURES +smcp Small capitals for a-z. For example, in XeTeX use \font\smallcaps="KanjiStrokeOrders:+smcp" at 10pt +utop Thomas More's Utopian characters plus the product integral symbol. The lowercase Latin characters map to their Utopian counterparts and z maps to the product integral symbol. Note that Thomas More wrote "Utopia" in Latin and, as such, this range of characters does not include the letters j, u, w or z (but z maps to the product integral symbol). +spec The Sinclair ZX spectrum block graphics characters. These originally occupied the range 0x80 to 0x8F in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum character set. The symbol @ maps to the blank block and the letters A to O correspond to the non-blank block graphics. Why @? Because in the ZX Spectrum character set @ was 0x40 and A-O were 0x41-0x4F. CHANGELOG 2020/09/09 4.004 Corrections and improvements reported by users.

Added Product Integral symbol (see +utop above) at U+F919. Added Sinclair ZX Spectrum block graphics at U+F7F0 to U+F7FF. Added radicals at U+91D2, U+2ECA, U+8A01, U+2EB6, U+2EAA, U+2EB7, U+2EA7, U+2EBB, U+7529, U+9763, U+2EBC. Improved readability of U+9751. Adding missing character glyph at U+0000. 2010/10/05 2.015 Removed one stroke from U+6357, notionally in compliance with JIS X 0213 and the Unicode reference table but actually because someone suggested it. There are many other characters in KSOF that don't match JIS X 0213 but I don't intend to change those; I made an exception for U+6357 because it's slated to become a Joyo kanji. Corrected U+6E90, U+646F, U+7D68, U+8650, U+6F5F, U+6557, U+8FB6 (controversial: it is unclear whether this radical has 3 or 4 strokes). Added the following extra radicals thanks to the generous help of Durand D'souza: U+722B, U+2E99 (an unusual radical), U+6236, U+4E5A, U+725C, U+2F21, U+8980, U+72AD, U+9751, U+6C35, U+9578, U+2EAE, U+8FB5, U+5C23, U+5DDC, U+4E61, U+6237, U+6B7A, U+7CF9, U+8080. Corrected U+718A. Added U+FA35 (variant of U+5351). Corrected U+62C9. Shortened first stroke of U+308A. Shortened U+30FC. 2009/10/04 2.014 Added missing stroke order numbers to U+30EE, U+4EDD, U+9FA0. 2009/08/30 2.013 Changed U+53CE to 4-stroke version. Updated U+5099 with more common version of cliff radical. Clarified U+6163. Corrected U+7CA5, U+8258, U+5396 2008/12/29 2.012 Corrected U+544E, U+9D28, U+6388, U+5D8B 2008/10/01 2.011 Corrected U+9280, U+8607, U+6089, U+6955, U+7566, U+79A6, U+7B08, U+9803, U+86E4, U+88DF. Clarified U+8511. 2008/07/17 2.010 Corrected U+74DC, U+9CE9, U+79BD, U+8DA8, U+82BB, U+50FB, U+4FB6, U+586B, U+5835, U+5C3B, U+63F7, U+64E2. Clarified U+50AD. Thanks once again to Scott Krogh. 2008/01/02: 2.009 Corrected U+76FE, U+8846, U+885B, U+5171. Thanks to Aaron and Scott Krogh for spotting these. 2008/04/04: 2.008 Corrected U+5440, U+5BDE, U+6357, U+6E76, U+74DC, U+7C6C, U+6A8E, U+6A23, U+9244, U+85AC, U+7CDE. Merged in the Choumei v1.10 glyphs, thus providing KanjiStrokeOrders with all the JIS 0208 characters. Added support for small caps. 2008/03/03: 2.007 Corrected U+641C, U+854B, U+6F80, U+83DF, U+5C65, U+65C6, U+6F01, U+750D, U+750E, U+750C, U+7504, U+7503, U+74E9, U+821B, U+74F1, U+5178, U+82E1, U+5BC3, U+9B42, U+6F11, U+5E43, U+91D0, U+74F8, U+74EE, U+74F0, U+74F7, U+7513, U+7505, U+7E4A, U+7515, U+6975, U+64D2, U+79BD, U+6F13, U+6A8E, U+9B51, U+7DFB. Removed glyph list and moved &, ', (, ) and * into their correct encoding slots. Correction from Aaron: U+6E1B. 2008/02/29: 2.006 Corrections from Aaron: U+5EA7, U+51F8.

Replaced Tuffy glyphs with those from Choumei, thus making the font more consistent in appearence. Added a list of glyphs provided by the font. 2008/01/14: 2.004 Fixed bugs in U+5BA2, U+843D, U+539F, U+9ED2, U+9B5A, U+5B89, U+6728, U+837B, U+56E0, U+5EAB, U+78E8, U+61BE, U+6545, U+790E, U+96F2, U+8328, U+596E, U+97FB, U+9054, U+5742, U+70AD, U+5897 and U+66DC.

Corrected the character U+5E83. Fixed the character spacing. 2006/12/28: 2.0 Greatly expanded with new stroke order diagrams to cover many more kanji, the Latin alphabet, punctuation and some other symbols. This used a fresh set of SVG data from Ulrich Apel. 2006/10/31: 1.01 Corrected the text strings embedded in the font. 2006/10/27: 1.0 Initial revision ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Almost all the work for this font was done by the AAAA and Wadoku projects under the supervision of Ulrich Apel. I just had the idea of turning the SVG data into a font and did so. Thanks are due to Scott, Aaron, Paul, Jeremy, Mifune-san, Gerrit, Brian, Noli, William, Alex, Jerome, Neale, Nicolas, Przemyslaw, Piotrek, James, Tobias, Jakob, Edgar, Olga, Reinaert, Mr. Yoon, Meirav, Alfredo, Josh, Sebastian, Samuli, Eugene, Jeff, Gerard, Inoue-san, Ahmed, Grant, Takao-san, Michael, Kitamura-san, Shibuya-san, Minh and Herouth for reporting errors in the stroke order data and making suggestions for improvements. I have fixed all these errors in the current version. Thanks also to Durand D'souza for doing the background research on the Kanji radicals I added in version 2.015. An especially big thank you is due to Toshirō-san, who sent me corrections for literally hundreds of characters for the V4.0 release. Please keep the feedback coming; I always welcome corrections and suggestions. Tim Eyre mail |at| nihilist (dot) org (dot) uk
