Jitai (字体): The font randomizer that fits

I just started using it a few days ago, so things I kept note of:

  • Make sure you’re using v3 Jitai, the latest is 3.1, the original Jitai creator has abandoned it and Wanikani updates frequently break 3rd-party stuff (API & font changes) → Marciska’s post

  • Some stuff still wasn’t working, so MikeyDC65 made a pastebin that you can copy the whole thing and then replace the script in Tampermonkey with on the Jitai settings page → Mikey’s post

  • Make sure you have Wanikani Openframework → Made by rfindley

  • Make sure it’s enabled lol (Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, whatever script manager you use). It also needs to be first in your script list for the other WK scripts work.

  • Not a pro, but at line 34 it says (let hovering = false;) which I think is what “disables” Jitai while in reviews. Basically, when you hover over the kanji in a review, it goes back to wanikani’s font. So it should be on ‘false’, not ‘true’

  • Make sure ad/script blockers aren’t causing any problems for the script, as mine (Ublock) caused a problem and I had to enable one of the filters on Wanikani

Once again, not a pro at all, but some of the things I did to fix it
