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.

This version of Kinryu does not really have all of the characters
for Chinese, rather those characters will be converted into
circles with question marks. This font has been extended so as to include ancient Greek characters, Glagolitic and a few new Japanese kanji. Those characters which are converted into
question marks by this font are not available in this font; That is because those characters are meant for the study of Japanese only.

I would like to create print outs of new york street signs. Does anyone know what their font is, and where to get a copy. Or how to approximate it using standard windows fonts?
much appreciated, jG

Gary, I'd put not too much effort in finding these initials. Sportsteams have their signs almost everytime handmade, for merchandising reasons. And it is always very difficult to use these signs without permission. They usually have strict licencing rules.

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

Hello everybody!
Do You now any font with many letters with diacritical signs, such as you can find in Word-Insert-Symbols... but with much more options?
for example, letter n with the point under the letter and so on...
I heard about german program Signum!2.

Thanks in advance. God bless you all.
