About this plugin
Axismundi Japanese Font Provider supplies the Noto Sans JP and Noto Serif
JP web fonts and fills the Axismundi theme’s regional CJK fallback slot for
Japanese-language content ( lang="ja", on the document root or an inline
subtree).
Two roles:
- Provider. On activation the plugin enqueues @font-face rules (front end
and block editor) for the two families. For Japanese-tagged content it sets the
theme’s --axismundi-cjk-sans / --axismundi-cjk-serif slots. Latin keeps
rendering in Roboto Flex / Roboto Serif because the theme lists Roboto ahead of
the slot.
- Font Library collection. The families are also registered as the
“Axismundi Japanese Font Provider” collection. The Japanese fallback above works
without installing anything. Installing from the collection adds a separate
font limited to the same Japanese character range, for places where you choose
it; it does not recreate the theme’s Roboto Flex / Roboto Serif fallback stack.
Because the slot is keyed on:lang(ja), this plugin coexists with the Korean
(and future Chinese) regional packages without competing in a fixed font-family
list: each language run resolves to its own regional font, so shared CJK
ideographs render in Japanese glyph forms on Japanese text. Without any regional
plugin the Axismundi theme falls back to the operating system’s CJK font.
This plugin bundles no tracking and contacts no external service.
