Hey guys, get to the study section of the site and check the Kanji for suffering, you will see is not the one is supposed to be (flowers on top of old) but actually (words next to ivy).

I don't know if this is a bug, glitch, only happening at my end, font issue. I swear I am not drunk.

Are you using Greasemonkey script? There is one that changes the kanji order I believe.

Otherwise, try specifying the default fonts for Japanese in the browser Preferences.

I have added language tags to the refactored site, but even so the support for "auto-selection" of Japanese fonts in browsers is not widely supported, so you may still have to point the browser to which font to use.

I am not using any Greasemonkey script and the problem still persists. Here is a screenshot.

Very strange indeed. I'm seeing the correct kanji, in Chrome too (1.0.154.59, try updating if you have an older version, it normally updates by itself).

That said, Chrome definitely has problems with the automatic detection and selection of Japanese font.

Try the same page in a different browser, if it solves the problem, and you really like Chrome (I do! wink), then it may be worthwhile to try the Google Chrome beta:

I haven't tried it yet; because I am developing the site, I need to keep my default browser version to the most common in order to debug properly otherwise I would be all overit already!

If however you have the same problem in Safari/Opera/Firefox... then you have another font problem on your system.

The problem has neither showed up in the other browsers nor other computers, but just that lousy laptop and with Chrome. This is not a problem I can work around so is fine. I just wanted to let you guys know and maybe have a chuckle with it. Again I swear I was not drunk and I didn't photoshopped it either.

Cheers!
