Abstract

A system and method for implementing a user interface for use with Japanese characters includes a font-encoder compiler on a host computer for encoding selected text strings and creating custom fonts, and further includes an electronic device which contains a standard font and a font manager. The font manager selectively accesses the standard font and the custom fonts to display the encoded text strings on the user interface of the electronic device. Specific characters may be selected by entering a hierarchical text edit dialog, choosing a character category, selecting an articulation group and then choosing a specific character from the selected articulation group.
