I was kinda waundering if anyone knows where I can get Elvish fonts ?? like the one Exa used on the post that was about that number 8 and 11 thingy... I find it really cool the English font and the Elvish.. So if anyone can help, it's more than welcome !!

Welcome, Queen of Chaos

There are several good fonts available for elvish writing - but also several less good and incorrect ones.

You'll find most ones on www.dafont.com (here the direct link to the section with the elvish writings:
http://www.dafont.com/en/theme.php?cat=605)

Most fonts there aren't really the best, but they have all of Dan Smith's fonts - those are in my opinion the best ones available, though their use is very complicated and you need to know how the elvish writing systems works quite well
(for the eight-eleven-thing I used the most popular Dansmith-font, called "Tengwar Parmaite"; also very useful the "Tengwar Annatar Cursive"-font).

An easier font is "Tengwar Gandalf", it directly transcribes the letters to the elvish equivalents. That works quite easily and quickly, but also brings some errors or unprecise transcriptions with it; yet I'd recommend it for simplified usage.


There are also several fonts that imitate the elegance of Tolkien's elvish alphabets, but are still recognizable as Latin letters; they look really nice, like for example the "Elven Common Speech"-font. There is also the one simply called "elvish" or so, it's kinda strange, but also doesnt look bad (I think it's this font - http://www.dafont.com/dl.php?os=win&fichier=elvish_ring_nfi)

Other Tolkien-fonts are for example "Ringbearer" (the one that looks like the filmlogo-writing) or the "Stonehenge"-font (aka "Tolkien"-font), there are several ones available on dafont.com.

Hope that helped.

Exa you're like a saint .

Here samples of some of Dan Smith's fonts (the letters say "Lord of the Rings" -

In this order:

1) Tengwar Annatar Cursive (by Dan Smith)
2) Tengwar Cursive (author unknown - would be thankful for help)
3) Tengwar Noldor (by Dan Smith)
4) Tengwar Parmaite (by Dan Smith)
5) Tengwar Quenya aka Tengwar Sindarin (by Dan Smith)
6) Tengwar Teleri (birdshaped) (by Dan Smith?)
7) Tengwar Gandalf. This transcription looks different as it's not using the same codes; as you see, some of the letters are the same as in the "real" transcription, some are different, and especially the vowels cause problems.

Exa you're a true angel thx, that was really helpfull

edit: waundering = wondering (it was just too late )
