Furifont is a tool or font project that embeds furigana (Japanese phonetic annotation characters) directly into the font file itself, eliminating the need for separate annotation markup. This approach simplifies displaying Japanese text with reading aids, particularly useful for web and digital typography.
Background
Furigana is a Japanese typographic feature that provides pronunciation guides using small hiragana characters above or beside kanji. Traditional implementations require HTML/CSS markup or specialized font ligatures, which can be complex to maintain.
