I’m having some issues with the textfugu anki decks.
I downloaded and imported them last night into anki (mac) all was well.
This morning I did some anki-ing on the bus using the ankimobile site. all was well.
At work I downloaded anki (windoze) ready for some lunchtime reviews but alas not all was well!The expressions are all squares! I thought maybe it was a mac to web to win issue so I’ve reimported the decks under a different profile but still squares. I have the japanese support plugin installed I’m not sure what else I need to do?
I can view all other fields just not that one! they display fine in the web view though.
aha – I’ve solved it! Turns out helvetica on my work machined doesn’t have any of the japanese characters in it – I just removed helvetica from the css and it works fine.
if anyone else ever has a similar problem and its not a css issue this looked promising too: http://superuser.com/questions/371282/my-windows-7-has-suddenly-stopped-displaying-unicode-symbols
Helvetica doesn’t have any Japanese characters full stop. Nor does Arial.
That would make sense then! I wonder why no one else has had this problem before? I searched the forums before I posted. Does the recognition card template come prebuilt with Anki or with the TF decks? The recognition card template had font family helvetica for the ‘Front Template’ field. It was pure chance I found that out lol, I still have no idea what I’m doing in anki!
Pretty sure it’s from the TextFugu decks as you design the cards how you want. That said, they were designed for Anki 1 so there may have been some base attributes associated with Anki 1 that have carried over through conversion to Anki 2, but it’s hard to say.
You probably know all the stuff on it already as it’s only basic, but here’s a link to my updated guide on Anki 2 as well as a few other links for things I’ve put together:
