[Bug] iOS font issue - Improperly simplified kanji #183
Comments
Has this been fixed? As an iOS and iPadOS user this worries me a bit, as I might be learning the wrong Kanji now? |
I haven't heard of any news of this being fixed yet. It would definitely be nice to see this issue resolved. I haven't heard any response to this, so I don't know if there are any plans on fixing it. |
There appears to be an issue with the Hiragino font on iOS devices. A large number of non-joyo kanji (particularly RTK3 kanji) are simplified when they shouldn't be. (i.e. 噌、煉、餅、櫛、etc.)
For reference, these are the characters (this was a fix JIS made for these characters). The 2000 forms are the improperly simplified ones, while the 2004 characters are the ones that have been corrected:

MS Mincho uses the corrected forms, but Hiragino doesn't. In a test page, I disabled Hiragino (therefore reverting to the system's default serif font) and the characters appeared in their correct form.
Proposed solution:
Please either disable the Hiragino font, or give us an option for disabling (or choosing) fonts in our settings.
