Note that the fonts listed in the page above are based on system fonts. Any operating system that has Japanese Kai and textbook fonts (教科書体)?

Hello Fuqiao,

My Japanese version of Windows 11 has UD Digi Kyokasho N... (various versions) and HG(P|S)Kyoukashotai.

Regards, Martin.

kyokasho-tai: Both Windows and Apple's platforms have it by default. kai: Windows has it. Not on Apple's. round: Not on windows but on Office, that is effectively all Japanese Windows users have one. Apple's platforms have it by default.
