Katakana can be used for emphasis much like italics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana#Usage



That's true, but it would feel very weird to use katakana as a way of denoting hierarchy.

You can bold, color, and shadow Japanese text just fine though, so I don't really see the author's point.


The bigger issue I think is limited font choices.


Look at Western design/font choices - Helvetica. Helvetica everywhere.
