The IRIZ Gaiji Set

by Urs App
The characters of this set (about 700 True Type and Postscript characters) are lacking from the JIS and in some instances from the Big5 codes. They are for use on Windows or Macintosh and are not system-specific. They are mapped to the alphabet and divided into various sets (ZenAgai, ZenBgai, ZenCgai, ZenDgai, etc). We include two lists containing all characters sorted according to total stroke count and four corner number.


€ Follow ordinary procedures for installing the fonts.

€ Use: look for the character you need in one of our lists (included in the Electronic Bodhidharma No. 4 and on the ZenBase CD1), select the font from the font menu, and type the letter that appears underneath the character in this documentation.

€ These fonts can be used in any system language configuration, even in a purely English system.
