 Does anyone know of a handwriting-like script font that connects between adjacent words? I know this sounds strange but I'm creating patterns for a scroll saw and having the words connected together would help. Thanks!

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.

Hi, just got back from prague. All the street signs out there look really 'communist' need to find a similar font.

Buckle-up hungrydave!!
I have been staring at this post for quite a while now and must admit I am flabbergasted.
On this forum and others I have seen many posts phrased as 'new york yankees font', 'harley davidson font' and so on. Everyone with more than 0.2% of the average gray matter knows that there are no such fonts but just fonts used to cerate a new york yankees /harley davidson logo/website/... As there is no 'dumbo font' to describe the corporate housestyle typeface of the White House - or Tony Blair for that matter.
So we decrypt and respond.
But this time it goes beyond ignorance or lack of historical understanding or education. This one is plain stupid. Suddenly, apparently there are 'bhudist', 'catholic', liberal, 'conservative' and 'communist' fonts. Fonts, rather typefaces, stupid, are a reflection of time. Not of an ideology. In the part of the world where latin script - which includes cyrilic (not relevant in this case) - is used fashion and the style of a specific period it time determines the type being used. So the Prague street signs, as well as the Paris and Amsterdam, are reflections of the time that they were designed, The 1920's.
Any idea, historical wonder, when communism came to Check?
Satisfied? OK.

Hi, when I was back in Uni (some time ago now) they had a large poster with all the different standard web fonts and their name.
Does anyone know where I can get one of these, aswell as a colour chart.
Thanks,
Tony
