 if you want just oriental-looking fonts, i have an entire section right here at abstractfonts HERE
if you want actual fonts with symbils, get the main ones on microsoft site

Thanks Alex, and I shall check out handwriting fonts. There is something of the same feel to Letraset's CHILLER, and I may decide to go that route - I was looking for a font with the slightly rustic feel of Oriental bamboo brushwork.
Cheers,
Cate

Aloha:
A while ago i used an oriental symbol for dog. It was square in shape and red on black with the letter(s) being red. For the life of me I can't find it anywhere (of course I forgot where it resides). Would someone help me in locating fonts and or characters or symbols (I'm not sure you could really call it a font cause i haven't seen it in any of the sites i've visited for the past few hours).
Mahalo, Jeff...

How about this?

1. Retro is in.
2. "Display/Headline". Wouldn't that be "Normal + Sans"
3. Agree with "Condensed".
4. I think it would be more descriptive for someone to see "Normal" rather than "Text".
5. Do you think there is enough distinction between Comic and Cartoon to warrant separate categories? How would you describe in plain english each of those?
6. Slab? "Normal + Sans + Square"
My suggestions:
7) Add "People" for dingbats and other fonts that feature human shapes, faces, etc. Also, "Animals"
8) Merge Initial and Display under "Initial"
9) How do you feel about "Industrial"? Would you miss it?
Another thing i am considering is grouping the categories which will make them much easier to digest. It will clear up confusion with things like "Foreign" which is meant to be fonts that have foreign character sets and there is "Foreign look" which would contain "Greek" "Oriental" "Russian" "Old West". Any other "look" suggestions?

This font is based on 'Hangeul', the Korean alphabet, and reflects calligraphy typeface.
I recommend that you use this font if you want to create an oriental mood.

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.
