    I'm translating some manga into English. I want to ask: What font is the best for manga ????? I tried AnimeAce and MangaVN, but they're too big. I don't have enough space to type in... not a perfect one... Do you have any suggestions ? What are the fonts that are usually used by VIZ publisher ??

    Actually, depending on what size you scan the manga in, any font works. The only thing you really have to make sure of, is that it's readable. Personally, I'd use arial as a font, only because it's easy to read.

    Other than that, just shrink the font down to fit on the page, or even better, blow up the manga scan to fit the font itself.

    It's always better to make sure it's legible, than it is to make sure it fits.

    I think that the font "comic sans ms" could come handy. At least is the one I use when I translate something to spanish..and is easy to read even when is very small. ^^
