How to Fix the Japanese Font Issue on Anki/Chrome

The Japanese Font Issue or Chinese Font Issue is a problem for all Japanese learners on Windows computers where Japanese Kanji display using the default font this is Chinese Kanji. One of the first times learners will encounter this font problem is with the word 直る.

📋 Copy this Kanji and paste it into Anki to see which it looks like (Remember to preview the card as the UI and actual card may use different fonts): 直

The reason this issue is occurring is because 直 only has 1 unicode despite it looking different in Chinese and Japanese, unlike the following 3 kanji which use separate unicodes and can display differently: 乐樂楽

直 is not the only Kanji that is susceptible to this font issue and so it's best that all Japanese learners fix this before they get Chinese Kanji too engrained into their brains, which could lead to confusion later down the line.
