in Arabic, sizes 8 and 10 look normal, but for other sizes, the font gradually changes, as if it is falling back to some kind of default.ĭue to how Windows scaling works (internally, it scales the font height, not the size), I may end up on various monitors with these various font sizes, hence the comparison.in size 9 Arabic, the text actually shrank.Could it be that it's not defined as well, and just stretched horizontally? For those same sizes, Microsoft Sans Serif seems 'vertically compressed'. odd sizes for MS Sans Serif don't scale (seems the font is not defined).

The Geometry of Type explores 100 traditional and modern typefaces in detail, with a full spread devoted to each entry. These newsletter templates (top from Adobe InDesign bottom from Microsoft Publisher) use serif, sans serif, and script fonts. I've added a screenshot of MS Sans Serif (up) vs Microsoft Sans Serif (down) for various font sizes, both in English and Arabic. When looking for a font to pair with a condensed font, you don’t need to find another condensed font. Has anyone faced anything like this? Or are there any tools to help find other fonts with same average char width to narrow down the filtering for us? Finally, any other source of fonts outside of Windows defaults, or anything that may put me in the right direction? Closest i found was something called "Gadugi" which i had never heard of before. I've tried a few dozen fonts, none of which seems to satisfy the (admittedly) complex requirements above. to make matters a little more difficult, the average character width would also need to be maintained when applying Windows scaling (meaning the font height gets scaled, by say, 1.25x or 1.5x).optimally, the font would be built-in to Windows (unless there are no such satisfactory fonts).for Arabic characters, they mustn't look 'modernized' (Tahoma, - even Segoe UI - fails here).some of the clients being in Arab countries, the above 2 criteria would need to apply for Arabic characters as well.the average character width would need to be similar to that of MS Sans Serif, to avoid text overlap of nearby UI controls (or applying a full application redesign, several million lines of code).it is a business application, and numerical readability is primordial.I am trying to find a more modern alternative that would fulfill some criteria:

Those using Windows 8 and up has access to Calibri Light, a thinner version of the regular Calibri. It replaced Arial as the standard font in Microsoft PowerPoint from Office 2007 and forward. The application I'm working on has been around for over 20 years now, and in some cases still has not updated the UI in some places - the font is one of them, as it uses MS Sans Serif. Calibri is a sans-serif font designed by Lucas de Groot and has subtly rounded stems of the letters. Originally posted in UserExperience, they recommended I post it here.
