I'm trying to realize a simple software that should use both standard european characters and japanese characters (hiragana / katakana / kanji), but I'm experiencing the following problem. I would like to make the japanese text bigger, but if I set a higher number as font dimension I start seeing squares instead of characters, while if I keep standard dimension everything is fine. How can I see bigger japanese fonts?

Answer 1

You need to install a font able to display Japanese characters,

for example one of this,

and then set it to be used by your components, replacing the default one (that is dependent on your Operative System / Look and Feel).
