Glossary
- Canvas API
- A browser 2D drawing API provided by HTML5. It can programmatically render text and shapes.
- Google Fonts
- A free web font service by Google, including many handwriting-style fonts.
- Rasterization
- The process of converting vector data (such as text) into a grid of pixels (an image).
- Anti-aliasing
- Semi-transparent pixel processing to make the edges of characters and shapes appear smooth. Applied automatically by the Canvas API.
- Line Height
- The height of a text line. 1.0 equals the font size; 2.0 is double the font size spacing.
- PNG
- Portable Network Graphics. A lossless raster image format supporting transparency. Suitable for print-quality output.
- Character Wobble

FAQ
- Q.Can I use Japanese fonts?
- Yes. Japanese handwriting-style Google Fonts like Yomogi and Zen Kurenaido are supported.
- Q.Is the resolution print-quality?
- The canvas outputs at 800px+ width internally, which is sufficient for A4 printing. Very large poster prints may not be ideal.
- Q.What happens when I turn wobble off?
- Text is drawn with uniform spacing and angle. Use this for a cleaner, more structured appearance.
- Q.Is my text sent to a server?
- No. All processing is done locally in your browser via the Canvas API. Nothing is transmitted externally.
- Q.Fonts are not displaying correctly
- Google Fonts load over the network, which may take a few seconds. Wait a moment and check the preview again.
- Q.Can I handle long text?
- Yes. The canvas height automatically adjusts to fit all text in one PNG image.
- Q.Does Genkouyoushi mode place one character per cell?
- The current version renders the grid appearance only. Strict one-character-per-cell placement is planned for a future update.
- Q.Can I change the background color?
- The current version uses a fixed cream color (#fffef5). Background customization is planned for a future update.
