Add a Font that Supports the Japanese Language
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Currently the available fonts don't support displaying kanji or kana in the text of the images.
e.g. https://api.memegen.link/images/pigeon/Engineer/_/Is_this_%E9%AB%98%E6%9C%A8%E3%81%95%E3%82%93~q.png?font=segoe&style=https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XOupccufL.jpg
It looks like HG Mincho B is under the CC0 license.

If that sounds ok, I can make a PR to add that as a supported language.
Were any of the exiting fonts expected to support Japanese? I'm not opposed to adding another font if it doesn't increase the build size too much.
I tested out the existing fonts and I don't believe any of them have that part of the character set.
The font is 3.5 MB, so a bit larger than the current fonts, but pretty small overall, is that acceptable?
Yeah, that's fine.
