Great Program. It's very nice indeed, simple but to the point. This code should be awarded the simplest yet most effective code. It's Brilliant.. :)

Keep up the good work.

Very good! I've been trying to find some way to write in katakana/hiragana using my computer - this works great. Do you know of a font that uses Hiragana the same way as the Citrus Fruit.ttf does Katakana? Thanks.

Woah, glad you like it guys! 8-)

Ron, I have one (possibly 2) Hiragana font(s), yeah, but the maps are different (I *THINK*).

I can email the font(s) if you like?

You can download the Japanese IME from Microsoft.com which inputs Kana (Katakana & Hiragana) AND Kanji, but it's huge and not compatible with much besides outlook and explorer. ;-) Good for what it does tho.

This is truly cool. I would imagine you can alter it slightly to accomdate other character sets as well? Like Hebrew or Greek for example?
