Furigana displays at incorrect position

[Ebisumartin]

Now that I have furigana working, I have encountered a new problem.

The furigana displays in the wrong place for most kanji. It is shifted over to the left. Depending on how close the kanji is to the left side determines how far off the furigana is. If the kanji happens to be at the beginning of the sentence, then the furigana will be immediately above it. However, if the kanji is further to the right, then the furigana will be offset to the left, sometimes all the way to the start of the sentence.

Since I don't always add furigana to every kanji, this sometimes means readings are placed over the wrong kanji. In any case, the furigana is almost always in the wrong place, leading to confusion.

Is this a bug, or does a method or workaround exist to make the furigana appear in the correct place?

That's interesting. What version of android are you using? Can you post a screenshot of the problem? That would be helpful here. Your template would be useful as well.

Same here. I've attached a screenshot. This is on the desktop app (Version 2.0.12). I've tried with different fonts, it's also not working properly.

Here's my template:

{{#example_kana}}

<span class="japanese large">{{furigana:example_kana}}</span><br/><div id="keywords" style="display: none">{{/example_kana}}

<span class=large>{{#keyword_french}}{{keyword_french}}{{/keyword_french}}{{^keyword_french}}{{keyword_heisig}}{{/keyword_french}}</span></br>

{{#keyword_french}}<span class=normal>{{keyword_heisig}}</span>{{/keyword_french}}<br/>

{{#example_kana}}</div>

<span class="small"><a class="hintlink" href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('keywords').style.display='block';

this.style.display='none';return false;">

show other keywords</a></span>

{{/example_kana}}

It doesn't even work if I simply use {{furigana:example_kana}} as the template.

This happens when you don't put spaces in the right place, because the parser has no idea where the word starts and where it ends.

Bad:　 子供[こども]のとき、よく海[うみ]で泳[およ]ぎました

Good:　子供[こども]　のとき、よく海[うみ]　で泳[およ]　ぎました

Ignore that, I put the spaces on the wrong side! Try this instead:

Bad:　 子供[こども]のとき、よく海[うみ]で泳[およ]ぎました

Good:　子供[こども]のとき、よく 海[うみ]で 泳[およ]ぎました

Works great!

Just a precision though, it doesn't work with the hiragana fized-width space. You need to use the romaji space for it to work.

Thanks!

Good point, I forgot about that. Same with the []'s, in case anyone else comes across this.
