    Default Computer Fonts

    I am looking for a font which has numeral four with an open top. So far, a sample of 25 fonts, the 2 vertical pieces touch, one being diagonal.

    I checked 50+ fonts on my laptop. I tried to copy and paste each of the following font styles with the "open" 4 but they won't show up here.
    The one with the asterisk might be what you are looking for since it is open and not diagonal. The others are open but slightly diagonal.

    Just did a quick browse through my copy of MS Office 2007...

    Kristen ITC
    Lucida Handwriting
    Mistral
    OCR A Extended
    Raavi
    Vivaldi

    Kristen, Lucida, Mistral & Vivaldi are all handwriting fonts. Not sure what you need it for, but the Raavi is the most readable.

    If you have a sample of the font you can try WhatTheFont! « MyFonts and upload an image and it will try and find similar fonts. You could also just search through their listings multiple ways as well: Find Fonts « MyFonts

    Good luck. Fonts can be tricky to find.

    The entire ITC Garamond family will do you. If you're looking for more opening at the top of the 4, check out Luba, though I'm not a fan of it.

    Thank you to all, the purpose was to mimick the Cyrilic CH it was the one Cyrillic Letter which was not readily captured in the English fonts I had tested.
