Required Fonts

iKana uses the Japanese fonts included with Mac OS X. If you have disabled these fonts using font management software you must re-enable them before you can use iKana. If you have not installed them you will need to do so from your OS X installation disc. iKana lets you toggle between a modern and a traditional looking font to give you a feel for how the look of kana can vary.

Required fonts

Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro
Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro
Hiragino Mincho Pro
Marker Felt
Helvetica

If these fonts are not present the operating system may substitute similar fonts, however these may not display optimally in iKana.
