The writing on the Ring
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?

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.
![]() I am just going to email the file to you. |

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. ![]() |

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
