I like this program a lot. I have no problem displaying the kanji. I especially like the story editor, and the links to quicktime movies showing the stroke order of the kanji. It would be nice if this had features found in programs such as iFlash, which allow you to organize the flashcards, and then score them as you study them (awarding them a point if you remember, and subtracting points if you don't remember).

This program could be useful for practicing the Heisig kanji learning method--once the bug is fixed so that the software program will actually display the kanji characters. In Heisig's method, the student first learns to associate kanji character with meaning. The entire Heisig volume one is devoted to this. No Japanese pronunciations are taught until volume two. That is perhaps why the developer did not give any kana pronunciation information on the flash cards. A key component of Heisig's method, lacking from this software program, exploits the human ability to remember a story. Heisig explains that this part of our brain works much better than the part that memorizes visual information. Heisig thus conjures up short stories for each kanji character that are designed to help one remember how to draw the character. For example the kanji character for "risk" is a combination of "sun" above "eye." Heisig's story for this is in the form of a cautionary warning not to look directly into the sun, or you "risk" injuring your eye. It would be nice if these flash cards could include stripped down versions of these stories, as these are the Heisig link between kanji character appearance and meaning.
Yeah, doesn't seem to show any Kanji - Version: 1.0.1, 7/21/2003 01:04PM PST

I think you must somehow embed a Japanese font in order for your program to work. All I get is weird international characters (but not Kanji!)
Hope it gets fixed. Coule be useful!
