Centre the あ inside the site logo

I personally have a feeling that the あ should go up a bit. And when we're at it, I'd like to mention the font of あ too. It seems that letter shape of the current design (on left) is a simple ...

Japanese text in 'Related' box rendering strangely

I was waiting for someone to post something about this :) It seems to be due to .spacer > a.question-hyperlink being styled with display: flex - if you replace that style with display: inline, the ...

音声記号用フォントの single-storey a と double-storey a

I guess Andika was put first, because it is a sans-serif font with a weight similar to Arial/Helvetica, our main text font (until we get our own design, which should be quite soon). Compare The ...

Please disable Enter to submit comments (again)

My bad. I recently deployed a rather big change in the way we handle site settings, and I broke this one along the way. It's fixed now.

Adding tags is fine, but also fixing a typo gets me 'Edits must be at least 6 characters'
