Military AI Works

Does anyone have, or know where I can get a font that simulates simple arabic text. i.e numbers mainly. I'm talking about the kind of font seen alongside english numbering on aircraft for nations like Kuwait and Oman.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A good arabic characters are here:

The script Scheherazade. Look for characters U+0660 thru U+0669 and U+06F0 thru 06F9 for numerals.

Along these same lines, can someone tell me how to add fonts to PSP7? And is it even possible?

PSP7 will use any font which is correctly installed in windows.

@ aerogator
go to control panel, you will find an icon "fonts" go into it and get the font you downloaded, unzipped, it will have a font file type icon, and place it in, then it will be recognized by all programs.

I found the fonts folder under C:windows/fonts. I assume this is where the control panel shortcut is leading?

So if I just put the font file in there, it'll work, right?

Thats correct, mate.

Jake,

I thought that would work also but it doesnt always. You may find (as I did with this font) that you need to open the fonts folder, right click and then "install new fonts" and find your font. Windows will install it properly this way.

From the files in the zip from the one Nick posted above;

"To install the TrueType font, simply launch Windows,
open the Control Panel, select Fonts, then File | Install New Font,
and choose Siddiqua from the source drive and directory."

Edited to add that the above should read "... launch Windows Explorer ..."

I have a little proggy called, 'The Font Thing', which can scan all your fonts and let you see them beforehand. Thus allowing you to select the font you want without having to load it into your paint program. You can also write out a sentance and see what it will look like.

Very handy if you have alot of fonts.

Besides this, bear in mind that not all "normal" keys might not be supported.
For Amarillo USAF for example, only lower key will work.... Sometimes these fonts do come with a keychart so then you should know, often they don't and then you get frustrated because you want LN on the tail instead of ln, and before you find out you should key ln to get LN, you're about to trash you're PC..

As for installing: in NT dragging your font into the font folder will work. As for XP, you need to install via configuration panel, fonts, install, no clue about Vista....

Vista is the same, you have to install the majority of fonts not all will work with drag and drop.
