The writing on the Ring

[Laurelyn]

Ok, if this has been done, please don't sue me, I tired searching for it, but couldn't find anyhting.

The writing on the Ring- I've been told it's a variation of the Tengwar, and such, but is there a downloadable font in that variation so I can type it up and print it out?

[Alandiel]

I just photo copied it from the book

[Comic Book Guy]

Dan Smith does some good Tengwar fonts in different Styles, his website is here (http://www.geocities.com/fontwizard/tengwar/index.html), it is highly recommended that you download and learn the the help files.

I think I have what you want, written on either one or two lines. I tried to attach it but it said it was too big. When I tried to make it smaller it would only allow it to be the size of literally a thumbnail. :mad:

I am just going to email the file to you.

[anduin]

UGH!!! You are going to shoot me! I sent the files, along with the font and brief lesson on usage, and it is STILL sending the message! It must be HUGE!! Sorry. :(

*edit* LOL!!! It was so large that it was refused by your mail server!! Let me know if you are really interested and I can perhaps send each attachment in a seperate email, but I am way to tired to do it now. :D

it'll probably be easier to go to dan smith's site posted by comic book guy. the font's really good, and it only takes a few minutes of messing around to figure out how it works.

:) :) :)

[luinilwen]

ahh i ofund exactly what you want - it's on dan smith's page. click on the "more tengwar fronts" link, and i think it's the second or third font on the list. based on the ring's script.

[anduin]

Hmm, I can't get the site to pull up..."site unavailable...exceeded its allocated data transfer".

Stupid bandwidth restrictions. Remember when the net was truely free?

[emplynx]

Anduin, I would be interested in that stuff. If you could email it to me in 1 or more emails... Sounds cool. sharrash@hotmail.com

[Laurelyn]

Hey Anduin: Thanx for trying. If you have extra time someday, it would be neat if you sent them along, but you don't have to. I'm inxcheala@hotmail.com , but I guess you'd already figured that out if you tried to send 'em earlier . . .
Everybody else:Thanx for advice, links, and whatnot . . .now I'm gonna go check out this Dan Smith guy's site.

[Laurelyn]

Lunilwen, thanks.

Now, if only my computer would support that kind of file . . .

[anduin]

Are you on a Mac?

I have those fonts for anyone that is on a Mac.

I won't be able to send out email until tomorrow evening...and that is only if I don't have to work late.....very busy at work this week.

[Laurelyn]

My comp's a PC, Anduin.

[Menelvagor]

Anduin, you have those for a mac? could you send them to me? I've been looking for a good tengwar font that'll work with my computer. Thanks in advance, I'm at THSchwas@aol.com.

[anduin]

Sorry I haven't sent out anything yet, I am very busy at work. But once we get this show up and running (Sunday) I will have much more free time. Hmm, actually I have Thursday off which is kinda weird, so I will try to send out everything then. :)

I tried writing the stuff on the ring myself...my friend said it looked great...but it took WAY too long!!!

[Menelvagor]

I can write it farely quick in English, but 'Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, as nazg thrkatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul!' would take a while. :eek:

Thanks for the link Bregalad!

[Laurelyn]

Evenstar: I've also tried writing it out myself. It's fun to write, but I mess up a lot, and I need a copy that's not messed up, which is why I'm searching for computer fonts I can use.
Bregalad: I'm going to go check out those links you posted.
