Arabic Pixel Type

Hi/Salam,

Wanted to know where I could get hold of some Arabic pixel type (use in Flash for clean rendering). I began making my own one, but need one soon for an upcoming project.

Thanks.

places you can look

Hi Ruh,

try contacting directly two members of the Khatt netwrok who have worked with and/or designed pixel fonts. Contact Fawzi Rahal, or Hani Alireza.

Maybe you can also ask Pascal Zoghbi if he knows of a quick solution.

good luck and best regards,

huda

Here's one!

Ruh,

The Arabic pixelfont Al Abdali 8 was created by designer Jan Gerner during his stay in Amman, Jordan to match the growing need for bilingual arabic - latin typefaces that work together hand in hand. Jan was kind enough to provide for a free license - so go ahead and download it >>

Al Abdali 8's matching latin counterpart is designed by Amsterdam-based font foundry Underware. The font is called Unibody and also is a pixel based font, designed to work at a small point size in Flash, Photoshop etc. Underware too provides for a free end user license agreement for the font usage. Take a look and download Unibody here >>

Cheers!

Hi Walid and Huda,

Thanks you for your resonses. I did begin some pixel typefaces, for mainly use in my flash work, but it got to a point I was doing too much work and couldnt give enough time to it.
