Kanji in different fonts

#1
I noticed that the kanji 直 changes quite a bit depending on the font I'm using, for example on my phone the downward portion of the final stroke is missing, whereas I can see it on my computer:

Are there many kanji that differ so much? Is there a way to make Anki (especially the mobile app) use a specific font? Because the one on my mac matches the one I always come across in manga and light novels, and my iphone used to have the same font, but they changed it with the latest update and honestly I like the other one more since it seems to be more common.

There have been several threads on the problem of font rendering in RevTK.
One of them is: http://forum.koohii.com/thread-13551.html

Thank you jmignot, I will check out that thread Smile

Edit: I just wanted to add that I managed to fix the issue on iOS by adding Japanese to my preferred languages in the language and region tab.

The best way to make sure Anki displays Han characters with Japanese glyphs is to fix the template for your cards.

Specify the HTML "lang" attribute for the text as "ja". There's no need to change your system language or specify a font.

Here's an example HTML page.
