Hi

I have a load of kanji and this example below is for 7 strokes

Is there a quick way of getting the handwritten kanji for these typed kanji?

I could using something like Jisho and screen shot but it would lake a long time

Similar is to find the sosho versions but again quite an onerous task as there are over 300 kanji to convert

I pasted your text to my MS-Word and just changed the font to sosho font which have been installed to my PC.

There are several sosho font sets (free or paid version).

Grev:

Not sure if you have this, however Markus Sesko has an e-book on identifying cursive (sosho) script.

Another document that might help:

Go to Nihonto info (top of page) - Research - Markus Sesko's Nihonto Compendium. He lists kanji by stroke count along with a sosho or short hand version of each kanji.

I tried to instal the sosho font. I downloaded a apk file but when I tried to install this font it was not recognised

If I can get it to work it would be ideal

Some great references - thanks

I opened the Sesko kanji pages as a PDF but on conversion to MS word it reverted to the standard type written kanji

This exercise is for my next book and contains all the mei kanji within this book so initially the format is word before changing it to a PDF file
