Subject: Looking For Downloadable Chinese Font

Any ideas were I can find (preferably free) scalable font with all Chinese characters (like a True Type font). The font would have to use legitimate Chinese characters, not some "stylized" version of American text. I'd like to create some graphics with the characters but need abilty to use large really large point sizes. I did a web search but have not found anything suitable. Thank you for your help & direction - Ken ... fhgken@rocsoft.net

I've never seen a chinese font. I have a couple of japanese fonts. You might try looking up some chinese websites and see if you can find a way to get through them enough to email them and ask if they can send you chinese fonts. I know they exist because chinese sites have them. But I've never seen any offered.

I,m not sure how scaleable they are but the above link leads to two sets of amazing truetype dingbats that contains a number of genuine Chinese characters.

If this is still a problem for you, I know a few places to find real, honest to goodness fonts that have 10's of thousands of Chinese idiographs. I don't know what you mean by "stylized version of American text". These fonts usually have a kind of generic Asian flavor, they use a character design that will work well, weather you're using it for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. This is usually refered to as a CJK design. Code 2000 is a $5 shareware font that contains about 20,000 CJK characters. It's incredibly small for such a font, just 2.3 megs. home.att.net/~jameskass/ Bitstream CyberBit is a free, very attractive font that also has 20,000 CJK characters. It's much bigger than Code 2000, about 14 megs. ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/ If you download the Chinese language pack for Microsoft Internet explorer (all the language packs come on the windows 2000 CD, so Win2K folk don't need to download) it has a font that can still be used for general CJK, but was crafted in China, so the feel is a little more in keeping with Chinese aesthetics. Don't know the URL. Another big font, about 9 megs. Hope this helps.
