A minimalist perspective on the Kanji Stroke Order userscript.
@looki’s stroke order script is nice, but the diagrams for some busy kanji tend to get rather wide and quite inconvenient to use, so I made a version that works for me (and could be of use for someone else).
No external dependencies, but you need to have the Kanji Stroke Order font installed. The stroke order display itself seamlessly integrates into a blown-up version of the kanji that you see on mouse hover.
There’s how it looks in an excited state (on mouse hover):
v1.1.0 By the popular demand (I got a message, which is like 100% of all update requests I got so far), stroke orders are now displayed on the vocabulary pages, too.
Download the linked archive with the font, unpack it and follow the instructions on font installation for your operating system. On MacOS, for example, it’s just a matter of opening the font file (.ttf) and pressing the “Install Font” button.
There might be a problem with the font detection, did not test it on Windows well enough. I’ll find a Windows machine and fix the code by the end of the week.
Good idea, but it may interfere with the script that randomly chooses weird fonts for reviewed items (that so many people use). I’d better create a new script that does just that, displays stroke order for items in reviews. I’ll notify you when it’s ready, possibly this weekend.
This sounds fantastic and I would like to use it, but it’s not working for me. I haven’t used many scripts in the past, so maybe I’m doing it wrong. I have the font installed, and it works in Word. I have the script installed, but it looks ghosted out in the drop down menu for Greasemonkey even though it’s enabled. =s Any suggestions?
Sorry, friends, I was on a health-related hiatus; shall update the script according to the new site changes. jQuery was present by default on WaniKani, but since they moved away from it, I’ll rewrite the script using vanilla JS soon.
No, the script by design is as unobtrusive as possible; and is only available on Kanji and Vocab pages. I was going to make something similar (a separate userscript) for lessons and reviews and should get to it sometime soon[ish].

If I try to install it again Windows just says it’s already installed, but the script on Wanikani says it isn’t.
