Which language & script template should I use?
Genkō yōshi uses plain square cells and is used for composition. Tianzige adds dashed crosshairs inside each cell to guide stroke placement for learners. The Arabic and Hebrew sheets are right-to-left ruled; the Devanagari sheet marks the shirorekha (headline) every letter hangs from.
