Japanese board font (9)

Would it be possible for the Japanese board to have some CSS attached to it that chose appropriate fonts? I use a very nice Japanese font regularly, but it's totally incompatible with Shift-JIS art which is intended to be seen in either MS Gothic or Mona. If we could get some CSS that said
font-family: "MS Gothic", "Mona", sans-serif;
or something like that it would be nice.

Wouldn't that override browser preferences, though?

Not if you have your browser set allow other fonts.

Once again, the problem here is that if you do that, people will scream HEY WHERE'S MY MONA I SET MY BROWSER TO USE MONA FOR JAPANESE, and if you change it to font-family: "Mona", "MS Gothic", sans-serif; it'll be HEY WHERE'S MY MS GOTHIC &C &C &C.

world4ch tried, and people screamed their heads off right away.

What you can do, though, is get a Firefox extension (I forgot the name... orz) that adds an id field containing the URL to each page, so that you can override styles and fonts for different pages in your userContent.css file.

Here's the CSS with the URIid extension. Note that it won't kick in until the entire page is loaded, so you may have to wait a bit if using dialup.

/* Use Mona or MS Gothic in 4-ch /ascii/ */
body.uriid-4-ch-net-ascii div {
font-family: "Mona", "MS Gothic", sans-serif !important;
}

BTW WAHa, what's the magic incantation you use to change font/style in your posts here on 4-ch? That info would be nice to have in the FAQ.

Just the usual WakabaMark: http://wakaba.c3.cx/docs/docs.html#WakabaMark

Also, I hate the !important modifier because I keep reading it as "not important".

Me too, but it seems important so I put it there.
