wow i just realized how clean my handwriting is! haha i didn't know that before and i thought my writing sucked... well how do you prefer your writings? clean or messy?

When I'm doing my reviews it is barley readable (I write them real quick), but if I'm going slower it looks much better. I'd say clean writing definatly looks better to me. Much easier to read than when it's scribbled.

Comparing a bunch of fonts. I like the あんずもじ font the best. But Moon more if I want a more handwritten style.

The one I use for more print style fonts is some random font, I forgot where I got it from. One of the links from the front page

Thanks for all the links guys.

Hahaha, the two fonts gfb345 posted are the lyrics for the gantz radio calisthenics theme

Wow, I guess my handwriting is better than I thought... it almost looks similar to the computer Kanji in most characters.

One question: Is it true that for さ you should connect it into two strokes when you hand write it, or do the 3 stroke way? I always do the 3 stroke way (same for き).

My teacher always said to keep the strokes separated, and it's certainly easier to write it that way (although maybe that's why she told us). I'm guessing its the equivalent of how 'a' has a hook at the top on most fonts, but most people don't write it like that.

I just found a great site with links to lots of Japanese fonts I hadn't heard of before, including lots of handwriting fonts, so I thought I'd post it here, rather than make a new thread. ^^
