>> 4. Add these examples to definition of 'cursive', same as for >> 'serif' and 'sans-serif': Kaisho (Japanese), Kai (Chinese). > >Kaisho for Japanese is not really correct. That's a more formal, >calligraphic style. As the existing example illustrates, Gyoshotai is >more appropriate. As for Kai, I defer to the opinion of others. I'm good with either Kaisho or Gyosho, or both. Both "looks more like handwritten pen or brush writing than printed letterwork", but John is right that Gyosho is more cursive than Kaisho is. Sosho is the translation of "cursive" according to my dictionary, but it may be too cursive. I'm fine to list all these three, or one/two of them. The "tai" suffix means "style", which could also be appended to Mincho or Kaisho, so "Gyosho" might be more consistent. /koji
