In "Jingo" Terry Pratchett uses an elegant, Arabic-looking font to indicate conversation in a foreign language. Anyone know the name of that font? Source? Many thanks
This has been bugging me since i saw this post because I knew I had used that font before, and it is a very nice one, but the name just wouldn't come back to me. I finally found it, and of course, the name is completely obvious. It's called Aladdin. Aladdin Font | dafont.com
Katcal: Many thanks for the fast and accurate response. Closest font I found until you wrote was "Caliph" on "MyFonts." Not as good as yours: Caliph font family : MyFonts And it was exceedingly clever the way Pratchett uses faux-Arabic to indicate conversation in a foreign language.
The guys who did the Astrix the Gaul books also used different fonts to show the different languages that were being spoken. - at least in the English translations... I've just installed that font and it's really very groovy...thanks Kat (and Robert for asking the question)
