The writing on the Ring

Laurelyn · 02-09-2002, 05:27 PM

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 · 02-09-2002, 06:01 PM

I just photo copied it from the book

Dan Smith does some good Tengwar fonts in different Styles, his website is here, it is highly recommended that you download and learn the the help files.

***anduin*** · 02-10-2002, 12:11 AM

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.

***anduin*** · 02-10-2002, 12:29 AM

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.

luinilwen · 02-10-2002, 12:56 AM

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 · 02-10-2002, 01:01 AM

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*** · 02-10-2002, 10:04 AM

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 · 02-10-2002, 10:08 AM

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 · 02-10-2002, 12:21 PM

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 · 02-10-2002, 01:22 PM

Lunilwen, thanks.

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

***anduin*** · 02-11-2002, 02:06 AM

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 · 02-13-2002, 07:01 AM

My comp's a PC, Anduin.

Menelvagor · 02-13-2002, 08:52 AM

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*** · 02-13-2002, 09:18 AM

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.

Evenstar · 02-16-2002, 09:32 PM

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

Menelvagor · 02-16-2002, 11:41 PM

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.

Thanks for the link Bregalad!

Laurelyn · 02-17-2002, 01:16 PM

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.
