font preferences

Work on the dictionary must stop in order to add Preferences so that users can set a font size preference.

A Japanese font can be problematic at, say 20pt, but very clear at 24pt depending on such things as TrueType settings.

I am getting good results using the free HanaMinA font from the Hanazono Project.

Preferences will be based on CSPD (client-side persistent data) - but I may offer browser cookies as an option ... ah, feature-creep, where would we get to without you ?

Part 1 of The Concise Japanese-English Dictionary of Kanji Words and Expressions is now on-line.

This version is intended to be browsed as you might browse a regular e-book except in an indexed, scrolling format.

An off-line desktop version will follow release of Parts 2 - 9.

The kanji for this entry is so lovely because I have the free HanaMinA font from the Hanazono project loaded on my machine.
