We finally did it. This was [previewed back in March](https://community.wanikani.com/t/considering-changing-the-font-weight-of-radicals-kanji-and-vocabulary/42490). Given the positive responses we went ahead with the change. The reason for the change is the improved legibility. It can be harder to parse when there are a lot of strokes going on. Enjoy. (The change should go live in like five minutes of this post) ---

Didn’t even realize how much trouble I was having reading some of the kanji until this change went through. Great change! ---

I thought I went crazy for a second. Looks nice though. ---

Sounds like some people are getting missing radical issues for the image-based radicals. You updated those, I presume? Is there some kind of server-side force-refresh you can do? 🙂 ---

The file path is exactly the same, so the image should load (either the cached old version or the new one). It shouldn’t show up missing. Inspecting a page with radical images loaded it looks like the image path is missing the file extension. If I had to make a guess this is cause of the loading issue for some people. I’ll look into getting this fixed. ---

Ok. The correction is live now. Does it fix the issue for those experiencing the radical images not loading? ---

This is good! There were some radicals that I found to be very hard to see (including “Tofu”, and “Squid”). Sadly, “Chinese” still has a heavy font-weight. ![Screenshot 2020-05-19 at 13.22.49](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/4/6/b/46bfa1a0e01270c3596df53e08c631872e0ab617.png) ---
