Font and Layout
There is a wide variety of English font styles and most of them can be used for free. There is, however, a limited selection of Japanese font styles, and in many cases, there is a cost charged for their use. Since there are a greater number of Japanese characters; a bigger cost is incurred in their design.
Sometimes, printers and people in charge of DTP do not have access to the same font. The selection of the right font will often become a key in displaying your materials in a beautiful Japanese font.
