Topic awaiting preservation: another font thread (Page 1 of 1)

i searched a while now and was looking for a font that displayed chinese characters and another that displays persian type characters... i couldn't find them in search (google), and the faq... i used to have fonts like that before i formatted...

KARN: When you say Chinese fonts do you mean the Chinese character set or something more Chinesey? Also when you say Persian tpye characters do you mean arabic style or what?

Pos. Something like Samarkan might fit fir the latter.

There are lots of resources out there for these types of fonts - if you could be more specific I'll dig through my notes.

yea chinese character not alphabets that looks chinese... and yes arabic.... i'll do some more searching but whenever i type in chinese or persian font the pages are IE font support stuff

KARN: I'm sorry I'm still not clear - do you want the actual Chinese and arabic character sets? If so they should be on your Windows disc. Or are you looking for:

1. Chinesey characters - where you don't actually need to know the meaning

2. Arabic-like fonts - swirls, etc. but still being actual in the western character set?

[edit: Examples:

1. http://www.dafont.com/en/voir.php?libelle=Chinese+Whisper

2. Pseudo Saudi http://www.fontmagic.com/alpha/P18.html

Hope that expalns what I was thinking]

thanks emp. Samarkan was a good arabic style font altho it still included alphabets i can still fake it a bit.... as for the chinese yes i want actual chinese characters... altho the first link you gave me had it but it was really messy... i used to have chinese fonts that was nice and smooth... awesome caligraphy

KARN: If you are looking or Chinese and Arabic non_european characters (presumably for graphics and not actual translation - i.e. you don't need to know the meaning of the symbols) then check out:
