Chinese Character Font ?

[Kasey Maxwell]

Does anyone have a Chinese Character font ? I have a client that needs frames made with this type of font, I don't know the language so I suppose I need one that obviously corresponds with the correct letter on the keyboard, unless windows comes with one ? :)

Thanks

I don't think you are going to find a Chinese font where the characters correspond to the letters on a keyboard. The language does not work that way.

A Google search for "Chinese font" results in lots of hits for what you need.

There's a blog dedicated to mangled Chinese characters / meanings:

Esp. read this before thinking a font swap will work:

Most modern operating systems have CJK fonts available --- just install the appropriate language support options. It's not a key-for-key correspondence --- you have to type the phonetics, then pick the correct character from a list.

If it's pro bono work you could use Bitstream's Cyberbit:

thank you, I will run this by him, I also learned you can open google translate and make any character and simply copy and paste it into coreldraw and it works just fine.

Kasey, try this site: http://www.mandarintools.com/chardict.html

It works well for individual words.
