I wanted practice reading Japanese in fonts other than the default, so I made this script to show each Bunpro review sentence in a random font, including handwriting and brush fonts (selectable from the script menu).
It’s a fork of Jitai, the WaniKani font randomizer by obskyr and marciska. The idea, font list and most of the behavior come from Jitai. I adapted it to Bunpro’s review page and added a settings panel.
What it does
- Each new sentence uses a random font from the ones you select.
- Hover the sentence or hold Ctrl+Shift to see the normal font.
- After you answer, the sentence switches back to the normal font. Hover to see the random one.
- Alt+J switches to another font.
- Fonts missing any character in the sentence are skipped for that sentence.
Install
Install from Greasy Fork: Jitai for Bunpro. Requires a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey.
Settings
Open with the 字 button in the bottom-left corner during reviews, or from the Tampermonkey menu.
- Fonts to use, grouped by style, with previews
- How often each font appears
- Whether the normal font returns after answering
- Whether furigana uses the random font
- Show or hide the 字 button
Notes
- Web fonts only. Jitai’s local and Adobe fonts are not included.
- Seven fonts load from Jitai’s font host. The rest load from Google Fonts.
Credits
- Jitai by Samuel R. Messner (obskyr) and Marco Omainska (marciska), MIT License. This fork uses the same license.
