font that looks like brush strokes?

I am looking for a downloadable font that more closely resembles brush stroke style or handwritten style characters (tradtitional and simplified) than the fonts installed with Windows XP. I want a font that a student can use to imitate, in order to write characters that are both accurate and attractive.

I do have 汉鼎繁中楷 but since it is a Mainland China font and although it indicates it is traditional, in fact it does not include many characters. However, this font style is exactly the type I am looking for, but need one able to print all traditional characters.

When I was learning Calligraphy and wanted to impress my parents by writing their name (well, a transliteration of it), I used Word and wrote it in this font : FZKai-Z03T

Very pretty.

Search for it and download it. I downloaded it from somewhere and it was free.

I think 汉鼎繁中楷 is one that I have and it seems to take simplified character codepoints and render them as traditional. I think it lacks glyphs for traditional codepoints though.

Speaking of calligraphy, it looks like you can make good practice paper by making big characters and printing them out in light grey like this:

永永永永永永

(Preferably in a more appropriate font.)
