I would argue the opposite, Japanese is suffering more than English thanks to computers.

For instance a lot of the obvious brush stroke is gone such as: うえらおや

The upper line is supposed to either look like a droplet of water or like ふ upper part

Certain details are gone: にこ no longer has the half arrow you can see exists vertically on the horizontal line.

ふ lost a lot of its details.

Still I would argue it looks better now for the most part.
