Enfour Media announces "Keitai Font" Japanese font
Enfour Media Laboratory (a member of Enfour Group) announces Japanese
TrueType font with extensions to the character set specifically for NTT
DoCoMo's i-mode.
Called "Keitai Font", above the standard ShiftJIS 6879 character set, the
font includes 206 'gaiji' (non-standard symbols and ideograph glyphs) and
'emoji' (pictographs) included in Japanese mobile phones. This fills the
need made by the explosion in popularity of email and Wireless Web
content targeted to i-mode users.
A boon for cHTML (Compact HTML) content developers as well as casual
"surfers", Enfour Media's font allows these characters to be accessible
on Windows and MacOS desktops. It is also ideal for small screen banner-
ad creation, printed manuals, screen mock-ups and handset prototyping.
"Keitai Font" supports outline creation and PDF embedding.
For further information in English or Japanese -
