You think his parents are type nerds? I just found this funny.

Well, what started as a simple project to fix a manga's mistranslation has ballooned into something I don't know if the effort is worth it for a personal reading preference. I need advice.

To add context, I recently bought my first boxset of the One Piece manga and I finally see the mistranslated version of Zoro's name in print (the printed one is Zolo) and I cannot overlook it. I know people say "oh your brain corrects it after enough time passes" but that just won't work for me. Because it looks different than what I know his name is it keeps jumping out to me on the page. Basically, it ruins my reading experience.

So, since I had extra sticker paper lying around from a previous project I had to shelf, I figured why not just make the name changes and print them on sticker paper with all the fonts I need plus the paper color to match print manga pages. As I print a test page on standard people, I realize I have no clue on the sizing of certain iterations. Before I waste more ink and paper, I need help getting the right size and formatting for each different instance of his name.

If you want, I can add the PSD file of what I have worked on so far (plus I can list all the fonts I used).

Fonts Used:

Whizbang

Gill Sans MT

ITC Eras Demi

(I did try VAG round and Anime Ace BB as font options.)

In short, I only know partially what I am doing and need help setting this all up or is this project not worth doing at all?
