Error with the り kana & Firefox?!
Hi guys,I am learning the Japanese from 2 weeks now,very new at it (& btw I'm Italian so sorry if my english isn't perfect) but I think I've found a little error.... as you can see in the title I have write the "ri" kana & looks correct,but when I write it here in this message it appear like this ----> り
Now probably you think that I am crazy cause you see the two "ri" as same,but here I have uploaded the image of what I see now from my computer using Firefox : http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9069/unled1bv.png
I put the orange on the two "ri" so you can see what I mean,on the title I have the right kana,here inside the textbox I have a different kana never seen before...
Also,I have the "wrong" "ri" in places like the "Hiragana Practice" so probably many other noobs like me that use Firefox are learning a different kana for the "ri" in this very moment,so someone please can explain to me what is appening?
Is this a problem between Firefox & this site or there are to way to write "ri" ?!
Thank you :)

I'm pretty sure it's just the font that the site uses.
but I have always see the "ri" made by 2 different strokes,this font change it with a simbol with a single stroke,so why using a font that confuse peoples?! Also,you know how can I cange the font from here to see it right?
The one with the connected lines is the the more common type-written style, and the one with the separated lines is the more common written style, I think. Similar to the differences in "ki" and "i". You will see both styles in the world so gotta get used to both :( at least they look basically the same- yeah,at the end I figured out this,but thanks for the answer :)
That is just a font matter.
There are many style of writing in hiragana.
another example would be sa さ.
you can take a look at here:

I hope this would help
