message: Can the font "Meiryo" be used on Microsoft Windows XP? --88.76.240.255 17:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be used in Windows XP, but it may not be used in Windows XP because Microsoft does not permit people for doing this.--✉Hello World! 06:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: How is the character U+005C displayed in the font "Meiryo": a) as a backslash; or b) as a yen sign? --88.76.253.120 10:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yen sign --✉Hello World! 05:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From backslash: In the Japanese ISO 646 encoding (a 7-bit code based on ASCII), the code point that would be used for backslash in ASCII is instead a yen mark (¥), while on Korean computer keyboards, the backslash corresponds to the won symbol (₩ or W).  Many Japanese environments nonetheless treat it like a backslash, causing confusion. To add to the confusion, some fonts, like MS Mincho, render the backslash character as a ¥, so the Unicode characters 00A5 (¥) and 005C (\) look almost identical when these fonts are selected. --MinorContributor 16:22, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The following sentence exists inside the article Meiryo: "It (Meiryo) is a sans-serif and gothic font (respectively for Latin and Japanese characters)." However, the article Meiryo belongs to the category "Category:Serif typefaces". My question: Is Meiryo: a) a sans-serif font; or b) a serif font? --88.76.247.150 14:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is sans-serif. --✉Hello World! 05:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sans-serif or serif? 

message: The MS Minchô and Meiryo comparison seems invalid, as Minchô is serif and Meiryo is gothic ("sans-serif"). A better comparison would be between MS Gothic and Meiryo. --MinorContributor 16:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That, and Meiryo obviously has cleartype turned on. --MinorContributor 16:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  MS Mincho and Meiryo Comparison? 

message: The article makes it sound like using a separate font for italics is abnormal and having a simple slanting effect is the standard or correct method of doing it. In typography, however, the opposite is true. Could someone who isn't a fucking retard correct that paragraph? -205.153.156.221 17:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
