Writing using Tengwar characters - Page 27

***Rían*** · 05-03-2003, 12:47 AM

*applauds* Very clever, WF!

umm --
'a',
's',
'ch' or 'r' ?
'i' ?

(the 'a' and 's' are great! but having trouble figuring out the others)

Linaewen · 05-03-2003, 07:27 AM

It looks like 'ch' to me. Why don't you just use paint, Wayfarer? It's easier. But that's coming from the Paint Expert, so ...

Wayfarer · 05-04-2003, 11:22 PM

it's 'Ascii' (which is drawing using characters)

the long carrier makes the 'i' double- 'ii'.

And MS paint is crap.

I might start using the word fonts again... that was cool.

I agree with your comment about MS Paint. But doesn't it take forever to line up the characters just right?

Wayfarer · 05-04-2003, 11:52 PM

No, Not really.

Ruinel · 05-05-2003, 08:28 AM

Who's fonts are you planning on using? And does this board support those fonts? I have some on my computer, but I haven't tried them here.

***Rían*** · 05-05-2003, 11:55 AM

If you're doing English-mode Tengwar, there is no 'c' - you use either 'k' or 's', depending on the sound ('k' for Cat sound, 's' for the first 'c' in Circle sound). So I would use 'k', since that's how I've always heard "ascii" pronounced.

I used classic sindaring tengwar, not english.

Ruinel- I've become fond of dan smith's fonts, both Cirth and Tengwar.

Sounds familiar. Do you have a url for that?

Elf Girl · 05-06-2003, 06:53 AM

Here are Dan Smith's fonts.

Ah! Yes, I had a feeling I had been there before. Those are the fonts I downloaded for my computer.

Wayfarer · 05-06-2003, 10:25 PM

Gah.

I can write stuff out in tengwar, but when I try to upload the file it's always too big.

Which is strange because I'm using a BMP smaller than some of the messages above. Let me try a GIF or JPEG...

Wayfarer · 05-06-2003, 10:34 PM

Try this...

Linaewen · 05-07-2003, 04:56 AM

Wow. Very nice. I like that a lot, Wayfarer.

Wayfarer · 05-07-2003, 06:08 AM

Me too.

So, uh, can anyone understand what it says? Because I don't remember. ];-)

I'm not the expert in this thread. But I think you wanted to use the open Tengwar for '-ing' (III/5), instead of the closed (IV/5).

Too bad we can't use the fonts directly. This board likes jpg, not bmp.

Linaewen · 05-07-2003, 06:47 AM

I'll have a crack at it now, if you want.

Cursives (?) ringurcursives(major ??) writing likes the ring writing

I have a feeling I am wrong here. I will edit it later. I think I can't read it because the person hasn't used the /e/ dot.

Ruinel, is it really 'ringer' - because I have two conflicting Tengwar tutorial things - one says 'like finger' whilst the other says that Tengwa is 'as in sing. I think that latter sounds more plausible to me, but I could be wrong. I don't think Tengwar would have two syllables.

BTW: I hardly think that Wayfarer wrote that and doesn't know what it means.

Ah... don't be so hard on him.

He's preoccupied giving BB a whoopin' in another thread (and I'm enjoying watching it, b/c BB deserves it).

Wayfarer · 05-07-2003, 08:48 AM

yes. That's close.

it says:

Cursive.
Like the ring writing.

Funny how cursive, one word, is longer than the entire second sentance, because of the number of vowels.
