The Chinese Avatar Fonts

[ralexco]

Where are some of you all finding your fonts in your avatars (whatever its called)? Very cool! By the way I have mac don't know if that matters. Thanks for reading what might be a silly question but inquiring minds want to know.

Actually those aren't avatars, they're rank badges - people get them after they make a certain # of posts. The font we use for them is called STXingKai (华文行楷) and it's included in the Microsoft Office Proofing Tools pack - it might be available elsewhere but that's the only place we've seen it.

???? ??? The forum doesn't support chinese characters?

It does, some browsers just have trouble entering them into forms. But if you have the right browser (in my case Firefox 2.0) they work fine, as seen in the second post in this thread.
