The book probably does that, but not being a native user of the Roman alphabet she probably doesn't recognize it. Would you recognize different styles of Chinese characters in a text?
public class változó { private bool lebegőpontos; public bool Függvény { get; set; } }In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.

Actually, yes I did.

EDIT: was that different styles of kanji, or did you mean telling hiragana from katakana? I don't recall ever having read a text that tried to use different kanji fonts to tell you something about the content. It would be interesting to know where you encountered it.
Quote: Original post by RycrossThat was definitely not my intent; I just thought that you might underestimate how hard it can be to absorb the contents of a text when said text is written using some infernal characters that some jackass made up just to annoy people. It's easy to forget that not everyone is as accustomed to the Roman alphabet as they are to breathing, though I guess that, as a fellow Japanese student, you're quite aware of the difficulties. ;)
Regardless, I made an off-topic comment speculating that the book in question (which had already been called bad) may not have used typesetting properly to distinguish programming keywords from normal keywords. Somehow, I feel like I'm being accused of taking a "I'm better than LessBread's friend," stance which was never my intent.

I've been wondering how exactly Japanese and other nationalities program a language like C++ when it's using English characters?

English programming sintax *IS* easy for non-english speakers. I remember this logo course I took when I was 7, all the kids got the idea quite easily, and logo commands are not even words.
