 Well my friend the chinese do not have as we in the world of the west a thing as a alphabet. they use a system of strokes to denote words or sounds to be joined that in turn can mean completely diffrent words so unless you know
1) what the words you want are in chinese ( be it cantonese or mandarin the main dilects among several hundred in china) or the charaters that would make the sounds of the words in english (sound simulation). I would stay clear of this line of thought.
2) The japanese have also a charater based writen form almost the same as chinese but also have a second form of writing called Kanji which is used to make the sounds of western words which they have no actual japanese meanings such as brand names.
take the this not as a step back but as a step in the right direction it may be easier to find some one to write out what you need and then take it from there. But be worned that in both chinese and japanese there is one indavidual charecter for every word in the language. and these words cannot be broken down into letters as we know it. Its more than a font thing. you can't just get a chinese font and type in the charcters as they apear on your key board and spell out what you want, it would't make any sense, not phoneticly or in the actual language.
My final advise find a simulation font its where that latin alphabet takes on the shapes and almost looks oriental, much quiker.

hello,
its very simple to install the .ttf files. but the thing is that I wanted to install the Chinese Font. I downloaded a Chinese Font(Big5, I wonder whats that?), n followed the same procedure as u discussed. But when I opened the Wordpad and select it and type "askjabfaskjfbaf" the outcome is english language but not chinese??? How to install a multi-language in our system. Please let me know ar earliest as possible.
Regards,
Anil

! not ALL free fonts are listed on Abstract or Dafont, some designers choose where they want to be distributed.
But what's the point of giving the same link as above, Prop?

Hey there,
a complete newbie in typography [me] is looking for a nifty font that can be used for English, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese. I've asked Google, but nothing came out, so I decided to turn to the pros.
Thanks a lot

Can anyone direct me to a (free) font that looks like cursive and chrome? We're trying to replicate the font from the Disney movie "Cars" for an elementary school project.
Thanks--
