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.

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]

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:
