How to display specific words or phrases in Japanese font when I want it to?

Ok so I'm kinda new to ren'py and I'm trying to get my game to display Japanese fonts but only when I want it to. The game is in English but I want a specific word or phrases to be said in Japanese in the dialogue. For example, if I wanted a phrase to be said like "悪因悪果" which means “Evil cause, evil effect” which would be said a few times in the game but is later translated and explained because it bares significance to the story. How do I achieve this? Sorry for the long text and I hope I'm making sense

You can use a variable.

Code: Select all

default tense = "悪因悪果"

label start:
    "Beware of this: [tense]"
    $ tense = “Evil cause, evil effect”
    "Well, I was meaning: [tense]"

You can change fonts anywhere using the font text tag.
