[OSM-ja] フライヤー

[Taro Kawahara]

Hello, Lucas san.  It's a rainy sunday morning today in Chiba,
so I don't go out for mapping today. but theres many
interesting works and feeling happy.

I have printed these samples on paper materials, and comparing.

I guess "song" fonts is a most suitable set for this flyer.

"ipam" fonts are most standard Japanese fonts, but we need more
weight to express our opinion. but bold fonts are too hard,
we are not overawering peoples :-)

"umeplus-gothic" or "epmarugo" fonts are also good choices
that I can say yes, these are cool fonts, too.

"epgyosho" fonts are too classical design, our street map is
very modern project, so classical fonts are not suitable. we
can use "epkaisho" fonts but these are weak than "ipam" fonts.
"epkyouka" fonts are fonts using on textbooks for schools.
This flyer is not school textbooks, so it feeling funny.


btw, in Japanese writing rules, first char of a paragraph on
printed material must be indented one kanji charactor width.

and it seems there are small mistakes (typos and miss-using
commas) in my Japanese translation text. I will check these
out at later steps.


Thank you very much!
