This thread is for people to ask about fonts. Whether you need help finding a font you saw somewhere or need advice on what kind of font to use for a certain manga, this is where you can get answers.
  • If you need a font identified, post an image and someone else may know the font or a similar one and tell you and then you will be happy.
  • If you need a font recommendation for a certain thing, post a description of what kind of font you're looking for and/or an image from the raw of the manga, and someone else can recommend a font they find appropriate.

Font Resources:
This sticky was patched together from all previous font threads that fit this category, so you will notice alot of posts are edited by me and have different post times, that's so that the posts stayed in the same order. Also the actual creation date of this sticky is April 16th, 2011.

Fonts for mangascans... Where can I download?

I've a question...
I have been serching for a font called ANIME ACE, but a full version. The one I got is only basic, so, a lot of characters are missing...
I need a link where I can download it.
I'm doing mangascans to spanish, and the font really doesn't work for me...

THANX

Re: Fonts for mangascans... Where can I download?

I've been looking for japanese fonts for my fansubs, but they're hard to find...
I just found them only with Hiragana or Katakana, but I need with Kangi too.
The more unique (like handwriting-style or whatever) the font, the best.

No need no more...
But, for those who need them, here's a link to a page with lots of other links to download fonts with Hiragana/Katakana/Kangi.

The name of the page is TravelPhrases.info.
Click here for a direct link to the Japanese fonts page.

Thanks for taking the time to find that out, I'm sure others will find the font handy :). People might also like the "monash archive" (search google) it has a lot of japanese related stuff as well :).

ah- and just fyi, it's kanji :ossu

Merging this with your other topic, in the General Edited Manga Questions section, where you could have asked this. ^_^
Edit: Also locking the topic, since both questions were answered. :amuse

Re: looking for a font

Whow.... This one took me longer to find than I thought.

But yes, this font does cost $69.99, which is pretty ridiculous, but hey, it's a business.

Anyway, download the file attachment, it's there.

It's called Hzs_CCJimLee.ttf

Of course, just put it in your C:/Windows/Fonts folder.

You know, though, this looks an awful lot like Wild Words, Anime Ace, etc., etc.... :p

No problem. "Question anwsered. Thread Locked." as MnK would say... :amuse

**Note: I have a strange feeling that there may be something more to this font, like a better verison (if possible) or sumthin'. Oh well, just PM me if you guys need this thread opened up again. ;)

That is definitely not manga temple. And anime ace looks a lot like Wild Words.
It also looks a lot like Letter-O-Matic
