- are included. There are also a few additional symbols which are used in
- standard Japanese type setting.
-
- If you use these fonts, please pay the shareware fee of $10 US to support further development
- of fasinating and useful software. The outline fonts are copyrighted, but you can them distribute

-
- The .TT font suitcases contain Mac TrueType outline fonts.
-
- README file - this file.
-
- The characters are arranged in groups of five according to vowel and consonant sounds.
- Hopefully this will make it easier to memorize where each character is on the standard
- QWERTY keyboard. A list of the keys mapped to the romanized Japanese sounds follows
- below for reference. This list is probably somewhat confusing but provides some help
- locating the characters. Once the fonts are loaded onto your systems, you might want to
- create your own map diagram using your favorite WP or DTP software.
-
- The Katakana outline font ID is 4932900.
- The Katakana bitmap font ID is 1891.
- The Hiragana outline font ID is 4985301.
- The Hiragana bitmap font ID is 2827.
-
- The basic sound characters with superscripted quotes are produced with the option keys
- combinations and the characters with superscripted circles are produced with
- shift-option key combinations. For example, the 'm' key represents the phonetic sound
- 'hi', option-m is 'bi' ('he' with quotes) and shift-option-m is 'pi' ('he' with circle
- superscript). Hope that makes sense!
-
- Unfortunately there are no option-n, option-u, or option-i key combinations. Instead,
- typing option-nn, option-uu, and option-ii produce the characters.

- Note:
- If you use Word 5, smart quotes must be turned off in order to use characters represented
- by the single quote key. The single quote is used for the N phonetic sound. If you need
- smart quotes on, the N characters can be type by using the Word 5 character map. The
- character map is displayed by typing command-option-q.
