Both the
Meiryo UI font and the
Meiryo UI Bold font are included in this update. These new fonts contain narrower Kana characters and adjusted vertical spacing so that the font can fit better in an application's user interface. These new fonts let an application do the following:
- Optimally display Japanese text in the Ribbon UI component.
- Display Japanese text effectively in other parts of the user interface, especially in areas where text area is limited.
We recommend that you install this update on computers that are running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 and that have the Japanese language installed.
