Hi!

I've just encountered a problem. I've noticed that the font type in the review section and the font type next to the kanji number in the book differs from the font type the book teaches you. The primitive elements for road and water are examples of this.

Until now (I'm at frame 640) I've always sticked to the font type one learns in the book when following the stroke order instructions step-by-step. But after i reached lesson 22, Heisig no longer gives you the stroke order unless it is entirely new. Because of this, you no longer learn the new kanjis by the same font type as previously. What did you people do at this point? did you convert to the new font type? I guess it's not cool to have a vocabulary consisting of characters written with different font types?

Because I'm not sure what to do next, I've stopped learning new characters. Some advices here would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards, student from Norway.

Godt å se felles landsmenn her!

In my 4th edition of the book there is an index in the end section of the book with all the Kanji written in the first font you followed. It was in the "Indexes" section of the book, headlined: "Kanji", right after the last chapter with Kanji and keywords.
It probably aught to be in the 6th edition too.

I actually never thought about this before. I think the digital font Heisig uses for the rest of the book resembles the other characters pretty much all the time. There isn't any variation in strokes or anything besides those being different fonts.
The direction of the strokes for "heart", "water", "run" and "road" elements may vary a just a little bit but other than that it's pretty much all the same.
