webfact Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Sorry that is not the FontI hope I can load a pic of the font I need with some luck you might find something on this page http://www.1001freefonts.com/asian-fonts.php IMHO the font looks like been modified or even entirely created by a graphic designer. Its hard to determine with the small 3 character sample only. Edited October 8, 2008 by webfact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to determine with the small 3 character sample only. None of the fonts in that link even remotely look like the one the poster is talking about. I agree that it's not a font and looks like it was made as a graphic. The "h" curls under the "a". If it were a font, there'd be at least a slight amount of seperation between each character.

That's not necessary at all - consider fonts for Arabic! In fact, as 'h', 'a' and 'i' all end in identical curls, I think the glyphs may indeed be part of a font covering all 26 letters of the Roman alphabet.

In fact, as 'h', 'a' and 'i' all end in identical curls, I think the glyphs may indeed be part of a font covering all 26 letters of the Roman alphabet. You might be right. It is pretty cool looking. I'm not questioning the letters have curls. What I'm saying is look at the 'tail' or 'curl' of the 'h'. The 'curl' ends well under and within the outermost edge of the 'a'. One might think if the background for each character is transparent then overlapping wouldn't matter. But I don't see how because transparent background or not, each character is still limited by its own frame. I have to admit the large "T" does looks familiar though. I have a CD I bought in Ayutthaya years ago with a zillion sets of Thai-style fonts that can also be shown as English letters, but I'm pretty sure that what's shown above isn't the same as any of those. I've never seen Arabic fonts, so I don't know how they are designed. But if I were guessing, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't always blend seamlessly either, although perhaps it may seem very close to it. If they're designed for computers, they're probably limited by frames as well. I don't know of any way around that apart from actually designing an entire word as a graphic.

What you're talking about is known as "kerning" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning ). Pretty cool when done by a professional who really knows his job, but can cause pretty unreadable text when done by somebody of the other kind. / Priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool when done by a professional who really knows his job, but can cause pretty unreadable text when done by somebody of the other kind. / Priceless Then what tezzainoz is asking about could indeed be a font where the lowercase h/a combination can be closer with kerning enabled while at the same time the a/i combo wouldn't need it. There's always something new to learn about. The clarification is appreciated Priceless. Thank you. I know I've seen the same text before. I think it was probably from a website, but I can't remember where. The design of the "T" is what caught my attention. If tezzainoz's example was a gif or jpg graphic, that wouldn't help knowing the name of the font, unless someone happens to know. Maybe tezzainoz can say where it was found.
