[comp.sys.mac] Learning Japanese

sho@tybalt.caltech.edu (Sho Kuwamoto) (08/29/87)

Does anybody have any experience with the Kanji font used on the Mac?
In particular, I would like to know how good it looks (Do they use it
in menus and everything?  Jeez)

Followup to a question on the Kanji font on the Macintosh:

	The Kanji font used by KanjiTalk and the Japanese version of the 
Macintosh System Software is a fairly decent font when displayed on the 
Macintosh screen and when printed on the LaserWriter.
	Any application (including the localized Finder and System) can 
display Kanji in menus, dialogs, etc.
	Hope that answers your questions.

Does anyone know of any good programs to learn Japanese, hopefully
with speech and grammar.  I got a hypercard stack from BMUG which
taught only a few words, but did have someone's speech so you could
pick up the correct accents, as well as showing how the characters
are drawn.  Is there an extended version of this?

Thanks,

Damon
