    I said the default font for Anki was Arial. At least it is for me, and I’m on Windows 7. Meiryo is included in Vista and 7 as the new default Japanese font (it replaces MS Gothic as the default). Though, why Arial is set as the default font in Anki, I’m unsure of.

    I took screenshots of the 八 kanji using the different fonts found on Windows that I know support Japanese font characters, you can see them here:

    MS Mincho
    MS PMincho
    MS Gothic
    Meiryo

    I’m new to Anki, but maybe when you create the Anki decks, you can use a font that displays the characters correctly that users on both macs and windows can install and use (as Joel said)?

    This is because on Windows, the default font that is chosen for Anki is the “Arial” font. Arial doesn’t show the bar on top of the 八 kanji. To display everything properly, I’d suggest switching the font to Meiryo.
