They can be used to write Runic inscriptions with Windows applications. (The Dwarf Rune alphabet was devised by J.R.R. Tolkien and used by the Hobbits.) ================================================================================ What are these files? ================================================================================ The Windows Truetype Font files: AngloSaxon Runes.ttf AngloSaxon Runes-1.ttf AngloSaxon Runes-2.ttf Dwarf Runes.ttf Dwarf Runes-1.ttf Dwarf Runes-2.ttf Germanic Runes.ttf Germanic Runes-1.ttf Germanic Runes-2.ttf Postscript versions of the same fonts: Runes_Postscript.zip Help File: Runes_Help.pdf ================================================================================ Installing Windows Fonts: ================================================================================ Once this ZIP archive has been UN-ZIPed and the files are sitting in the temporary folder on your computer; you must use your Windows Control Panel to install them properly.
