Thank you for your kind reply! I took a look at the website you linked, but - if I understand correct - the purpose there is to find latin alphabet fonts that look similar to eastern wording (hebrew, arabic, etc.), while what I need is to find real hebrew glyphs/letters in the same (or very similar) style as the Scrypticali font.
It would be wonderful if there was a website where to find real hebrew supported language fonts that looks like the most famous latin fonts (or shortly, just like Scrypticali font)!
Hello and thanks for your answers. I'm a designer, but not skilled on typefaces design. Plus, I don't know hebrew language. I need this job done for one of my clients. I give it a try designing those few glyphs, but I've found out that creating letters with a good readability and coherent with style is a very tough job and require deep knowledge of how each language is wrtitten/read.
If anyone wish to send me his quote for this job done to familydog at tiscali dot it, I would be very glad, thank you.

Good point, thank you.
Maybe than I can take the chance and ask in this forum what I wanted to ask to the font designer I was looking for: I need a hebrew version of the font Scrypticali, at least 5 letters. Is there anybody can do it? Or maybe does anyone know if the font Scrypticali is based on some else which alteady support the hebrew language?
Thanks all

Hello everybody,
I'm trying hard to contact one of the font creators of this community, SDfonts,
https://www.dafont.com/sdfonts.d124
His official website
https://jump.to/SDFonts it now redirects to the Jump homepage. His alternative website
https://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/sdfonts/ it looks long time abandoned.
I tried to email him at
kaukomieli@angelfire.com and at
rzy@netjunk.com, but the message was rejected by the server because no longer existing addresses.
What we know is his name, Sami, his location, Espoo/Finland and many pages about his fonts on the Internet, all without a working link to contact him.
Anyone knows how to contact him?
Thanks a lot in advance
Claudio
If you are skilled enough in Photoshop, you could create a brush using a slice from the image you submitted. Of course you will need to work on creating the good semi-transparent sample, as first (Selection->color range->cancel).
Hi all,
I was sure I would never need again any help about this old topic, but god, managing fonts can be really annoying.
That's my story: I had a quite large collection of fonts, free and commercials, all well stored in alphabetical order (folder 0-1, A, B, etc.).
Last time I changed my computer years ago I decided to find a good font manager, and I purchased FontExpert.
I don't remember what I did exactly the first time I installed FontExpert, I suppose it asked me to load my font folder so that it could build a library.
For many years managing fonts have been quite smooth... each time I needed to purchase and use a new font, I was downloading it in any folder and from there I was installing through FontExpert, creating a copy of the font in the system font folder.
Now it arrived the moment to change computer and I need to move all my fonts from one computer to the other.
I created a backup file + worklist with FontExpert and than I imported it in the new computer, expecting I would find in the new computer exactly the same font list and installed fonts of the old computer, but I don't know what, the older fonts I installed in my old computer were copied correctly to the new one, while the newest ones no.
I started to feel annoyed by FontExpert and all its many confusing options, so now I want to switch to my original font collection stored in a folder in alphabetical order: surprise, I can't find it no more, FontExpert imported my collection in its own library folder, following a customized order which I really don't understand and which make impossible for me to build back my original collection.
So my questions are:
1. How can I create (in any way) a complete backup of my font collection from my old computer to the new one? I tried to search for .tff + .otf files, but it only find fonts in the "uninstalled fonts" folder.
2. What is the best, easiest font manager for Windows, which can install/uninstall font from my personal folder and maybe which allow me to classify fonts adding a tag (i.e. rusted font, sixties fonts, etc.)?
Thanks in advance and god damn windows font managing
