Elvish fonts

(via Slashdot)
For those of you interested in all things Tolkein, here is a guide to Writing With Elvish Fonts.

I see some cool Flash designs that could arise from this...

(Please don't ask for me to do Elvish translations. Read the guide.)

Andy,

Nice to see your running a blog! I like the Elvish font thing... cool! Hope things are going ok and that all is well with you and Alison.

Just wanted to say hi.

All the best,

Wow. Lots of folks want elvish tattoos.

Well, if you simply want to write your English phrase using elvish writing, you could try this page:

http://tengwar.art.pl/ott/start.php?l=en

Just select PNG in the options at the bottom, and set the font size to 80 pt for better readability. Click the "transcribe" button, then click on the resulting image to view it full size. Then you can print that image and do whatever you like with it.

Then ask yourself if you really want such a thing embedded into your skin for the rest of your life.
