[libreoffice-users] Re: Arabesque font that is really English
Hi :) Not quite. It has to be readable as English Just with a style that looks vaguely Arabic or reminiscent of Arabic swirls. Actually Stuart's idea inspired me so i jumped on a Windows machine and got something that is quite nice and is good enough. It's only for a coffee morning so i'm happy to run with what i have already. It might be good to have something better for the future though! :) Regards from Tom :) From: Kracked_P_P---webmaster webmas...@krackedpress.com To: Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Cc: Users@Global.LibreOffice.Org Users@Global.LibreOffice.Org Sent: Wednesday, 8 May 2013, 15:46 Subject: Re: Arabesque font that is really English On 05/08/2013 09:03 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I have a good Arabic font but it's in Arabic.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Arabesque font that is really English
That is a lot different than Arabic fonts. Well, I miss understood you email I just sent you a link to a zip file of all of true Arabic fonts I had - 182 files. Well if you want swirls and such, it sounds like a brush or calligraphy style. On 05/08/2013 10:52 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Not quite.

[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Arabesque font that is really English
Hi :) Thanks :D I already have a true Arabic font that is actually the kinda default one in some country, i think either Saudi or the USA but possibly India. I'm never completely sure where anyone is. However it's going to be great having different fonts to use in posters and such. I've made quite a nice poster this time. Next time it's going to be easier to be better. Thanks all!!

Re: [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Arabesque font that is really English
You always know where you can get specialty fonts. One day I will made a set of DVDs and see about sending you a set. Maybe a flash drive. Nautilus tells me I have 230,730 items totaling 16.0 GB in my font folders [not including my Adobe font library folder] There are some duplicates and once in a while I work on removing them.
