Wow, some of these fonts are horrible. Are they actually used?
It might be fine after more practice, but the calligraphy fonts are nearly impossible for me to parse. For the pixelated ones (especially that first row), is there actually sufficient resolution to differentiate between complex kanji?
All the fonts here are a good idea to be able to read, except for one. I mean, it’s good if you can read it, but whoever came up with the second digital font mentioned by @temporaryuser381 can jump in a well. In a digital world, I would always recommend one copy-pastes any text written like that and changes the font to something sensible, or just refuses to indulge the writer.
The calligraphy fonts, however, are essential because, unfortunately (I guess), some people do write like the less legible ones.
If that’s on a coffee shop, I’m skipping my coffee that day. One of the rare occasions I’d completely endorse just walking away. Almost the same reason I’d not bother with Windings.
BTW Wingdings is not a font for text, It’s a font to input text based images in your text. So instead of searching the internet for a scale-able, image you can just use wingdings font.
Sure, but that’s kind of my point. At a certain level of deliberate illegibility, it becomes very hard to distinguish between characters and textually insignificant squiggles.
