Description

Ruby annotations are essential for Japanese language learners to be able to sound out words they do not already know. However they have historically had poor support on the web. This focus area is to improve the typography of Ruby annotations so they are useable by children and other Japanese language learners. This proposal includes:

  • ruby-position: alternate
  • ruby-overhang
  • text-transform: full-width
  • text-transform: full-sized-kana

It does not include ruby-merge

Specification

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-ruby-1/

Additional Signals

Ruby bugs cause readability issues in web based books.

The Ruby implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

A couple of key features are still missing:

  • Line-breakable ruby, implemented in Chrome 128.
  • display: ruby-base, ruby-base-container, and ruby-text-container implemented in Firefox 38

I would suggest that this title be changed to focus on Ruby, and that text-transform could open a new issue separately.

I'm open to that. Thanks for the suggestions of other APIs to include.

Thank you for proposing CJK fonts for inclusion in Interop 2025.

We wanted to let you know that this proposal was not selected to be part of Interop this year.

On behalf of the entire Interop team, thank you for submitting this proposal for consideration. We got many more proposals than we could include in this year's project, necessitating some difficult choices. Please note this should not be taken as a comment on the technology as a whole, or our willingness to consider it for Interop in the future. We appreciate the work you put into your proposal, and would welcome your participation in future rounds of Interop.

For an overview of our process, see proposal selection. Thank you again for contributing to Interop 2025.

Posted on behalf of the Interop team.
