'''''GiFTPiA''''' is a video game that was developed by Skip Ltd. for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It was released in Japan on April 25, 2003. Despite the fact its last showing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) was in English, Nintendo cancelled the North American localization of ''GiFTPiA''. In English, the game's title would be better understood as "Giftopia" to represent the two words, gift and utopia.
'''''GiFTPiA''''' ('''''ギフトピア''''') is a unique RPG described as a "Communication Adventure", the game does not involve battles, dungeons, and monsters like a traditional RPG, but instead has the player take control of a young boy named Pockle as he completes various chores for the inhabitants of Nanashi Island.

Until {{revision|4.0-5097}} the default kanji font display extremely thin (1 pixel) as opposed to showing as a thick font with grey pixels around the edges. This was a problem with Dolphin's font files, which prior to {{revision|4.0-5097}} are low resolution and may be hard to read. As of {{revision|4.0-5097}}, the Japanese fonts have been replaced by the free Droid Sans Japanese font (released under the [http://raw.githubusercontent.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/fdce69473d7dc07e054953f7576f0533fdd83d17/Data/Sys/GC/font-licenses.txt Apache 2 license]) which is much closer to the look of the original hardware, and can be downloaded [http://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/fdce69473d7dc07e054953f7576f0533fdd83d17/Data/Sys/GC/font_sjis.bin?raw=true here] for use with any revision.


Though closer to the Wii fonts the Droid Sans Japanese font is not the same. For pixel-perfect kanji display you can rip fonts from a Wii by following the instructions [http://translate.google.com/translate?act=url&depth=1&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://wikiwiki.jp/gcwiiemu/%3FTips_Font_Improvement here].
