What are these files:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This ZIP archive contains Windows compatible Truetype (and ATM) fonts for the
Elvish Tengwar alphabet. They can be used to write Elf language inscriptions
with Windows applications. (The Tengwar alphabet was devised by J.R.R. Tolkien
and used by the Elves to write in their native languages).
These fonts are Postcard-ware. If you like these fonts, please send me a
postcard or letter (using an attractive or interesting stamp). If you supply me
with your email address, I'll try to write back. You can get my current postal
address by visiting my WWW home page (listed above). If you do write, please
tell me of your Tengwar writing interests.
These fonts cannot be sold for a profit. (Although, if you really enjoy using
these fonts and need to find some financial way of showing your appreciation,
any and all donations will be gladly accepted.) CD-ROM and Shareware
distributors are requested to notify me before distributing these fonts.
These fonts may be used in any personal, private or non-commercial publication.
Please contact me if these fonts do appear in a publication. I'd like to receive
a copy of it, and I may be able to provide further assistance by creating custom
fonts or clip art for you. My current postal address is listed on my WWW home
page (listed above).
These fonts may NOT be used in any commercial product or publication without my
permission and the direct consent of the Tolkien Estate. You can contact the
Tolkien Estate by writing to:

How do I get these files to work:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Un-Zip the "tengs19d.zip" file into a Temporary directory.
(Visit: www.winzip.com to download an un-zipping program, if necessary.)
2) Install the fonts on your PC using your Windows (or ATM) Control Panel.
3) The "Tengwar Sindarin" fonts are now ready to be used with any Windows
application.
Note: My Tengwar fonts are very difficult to use if you do not have the latest
version of my Tengwar Help file for Windows. The Help file will explain the
font's keymapping, language modes, and rules for usage. It can be downloaded
from:

other Tengwar font packs for Windows:
