3 years ago Hi! Sorry for not writing before, but GitHub forgot to notify me of issues posted here apparently for a while now. I haven't seen multiple issues until now.
I'm not working on this project anymore. I wanted to make a full release and maybe add some small adjustments years ago, but for a long time nobody tested zkanji or reported issues, and I didn't want to make a full release of a possibly buggy program, then I moved on.
As for your issue at hand, I have no control over the real font size, as many fonts are badly created. The built in method to printing fonts in Windows works around this, but I'm using the Qt library now, as it's easy to deploy with it on multiple platforms (which in turn uses an open-source library to display fonts.) This could be "fixed" in roundabout ways, but it didn't come up for me this badly so I never tried.
Please try using different fonts for the kanji. I know this is not a solution but it would be a fast "patch" on the problem.
For the dictionary, there's a button to the right of the search field. If you click that, each meaning will be shown on a separate line for every word. There are definitions which are still longer than what fits in a window but it's much easier to manage long lines.
Can't say much about the other issues. As I wrote above, I'm not working on zkanji any more, and while those feature requests are understandable, bigger changes on the interface at this point require me returning to zkanji development. :(
Hello! I don't know if you're still working on this amazing project or that it was the end a few years ago, but if you still need feedback or issue report, I'll list them here.
Compared to the older version of zkanji, the Kanji Grids are all clamped together and oversized. The minimum size in the setting wa 32 and even so, it was still to big. I would've perered it if the kanjis fit in the grids so that it's alot appealing to the eyes as well as easy to read.
Another issue I have is with the Dictionary. It's kind of annoying that I have to scroll to the right to look at the whole text and then scroll all the way back to the left when I minimize the software.
And then here, the examples are great, but the translations on the bottom and the area itself is to small to be readable.
I also like how the quizzes are, but I liked it more if there was more then just type in the answers and flashcards quizzes/study methods. Like maybe incooperate some multiple choices in there?
