 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

Indeed. We definitely live on a beautiful planet. My father lives in Trieste and I live in Rome: close to Toscana and Marche and, most notably, the lovely Umbria. I a-do-re that land and the people are so nice. They've got a funny accent too, if you understand Italian. My car's GPS system is set with their dialect :D
Ever been in Piemonte? If you like Toscana, you have to see the Asti countryside. Hills and hills, a rich soil with the most important Italian vineyards (and wines: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Barbaresco, Barolo, Arneis etc.) and the grass is greener. Really.
The Shire in the Lord of the Rings could have been filmed there – no offence for our friends from New Zealand.
Have a nice day you too, Re :)

Oh it was! And they really deserved it. Those who kick the Italian Cattenacio out of the game can win everything!

For finding free software this is hardly the right forum. Go tucows or cnet.
A ton? Are there still currencies on par with the old Italian Lire?

 Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I've been dabbling in typography and font design on my own for a few years now. I have discovered a style of ornamental capital which I'm eager to find as a font. I'm not sure if it is really a font, though. It might just be fancy customised lettering.
I found these capitals in a book called "Angels: An Endangered Species". I was actually more impressed by these capitals than by the content of the book. I just stumbled on this site, and there seem to be more than a few folks here who really know their fonts :)
Okay, a little more detail on this: I've searched through the text, and these ornate caps are reserved for chapter openings (as they should be), so there are few of them. I was only able to spot these 4 letters (some are used more than once at various places).
Any ideas on this one? The engraved look of the detail makes me think that it's probably custom lettering, but with font design as intricate as it is these days, I figured even for a book that's been around since 1990, that there might be such a font. Oh, and one more thing: the typesetting of the text was done by someone in Florence, italy by the name of Simonetta Castelli. I know, it's a long shot, but I can't find anything but pages in Italian on her (hmm ... wonder why?? ;) Thanks in advance for helping!

I still use the letter-stencils – the Italian word is “normografo” – for fun and some works: maybe beacuse I'm a 70s kid. That it is definitely a stencil work.
