LaoWai Posted October 18, 2007 at 08:55 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 at 08:55 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlondon Posted October 18, 2007 at 09:47 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 at 09:47 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibole Posted October 18, 2007 at 11:26 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 at 11:26 PM Check out http://www.chinese-tools.com/resources/free-chinese-fonts.html 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.)

LaoWai Posted October 19, 2007 at 09:02 PM Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 at 09:02 PM Thanks for the advice on FZKaiZ03, it is just the sort of font I have been looking for. Unfortunately, could not find a free download, so ended up purchasing it in a font pack from Twinbridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
