DE font for banners, rosters etc.

I will hopefully be updating all the links sometime today. Check back later.

OK, I have put all the fonts together into a single zip file. The fonts are:

Druchii Banner Font 01 - My first ever font, containing all the major concept runes from the back of the HE book as well as a lot of generic DE runes. As the name suggests, this font is most useful for designing DE banners.

Drukh-Eltharin - Every phonetic and major concept rune in the DE language. Read the Druchii Language Guide (in the forthcoming October issue of Druchii.net Quarterly) to find out what each rune means.

MA Bastarda - This font was not designed by me, but is included because it is the font used for this site's buttons and banner, as well as forming the basis of some of the forum avatars. An excellent font for army rosters, since it is perfectly readable but still looks very Druchii.

Eldar Runes - There is already an eldar runic font out there, but (a) it wasn't designed by me and (b) it only has a couple of dozen runes in it. This font has a far more complete selection of eldar runes. You'll need to use your Character Map program to see them all as there are far too many to map to only the commonly used keys shown in Font Viewer.

The zip file can be downloaded by right-clicking on either this link or this one and choosing 'Save Target As'. You will need to unpack the zip file and copy the four TTF files to your C:/WINDOWS/fonts directory. You might have to restart your computer to get the fonts to work.

Thanks for the new zip file though.

How do I get the hold of a Druchii Language Guide

*ahem*

(in the forthcoming October issue of Druchii.net Quarterly)

Expect it to be out in November. Probably. Ask Z'gahn.

These runes are so very groovy!
Thank you so much!
I have got a problem with MA Bastarda though. I can't get it to work properly. it just comes up as a plain font. Can someone help me please?

Shadowspite · Post by **Shadowspite** » Thu Oct 30, 2003 10:56 am

What do you mean by "a plain font"?

Doze · Post by **Doze** » Thu Oct 30, 2003 1:49 pm

the standard font for the computer. like ariel for example.
it's like when a website uses an interesting font, but you don't have it installed on your computer. you can read it, but it doesn't come up as the font it's supposed to be.
sorry for the lack of clarity there :oops:

Shadowspite · Post by **Shadowspite** » Thu Oct 30, 2003 7:13 pm

Ah, OK. Umm... Try downloading it again?

Doze · Post by **Doze** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 1:35 am

very strange, but it seems to have sorted itself out.
i swear this computer must be sentient sometimes. it always manages to not do what i want it to, when i want it to, then go and do it behind my back

but thanks for trying to help

Normally I don't like to just echo what previous posts have said but this time Shadowspite deserves special thanks for all the hardwork and effort to produce these.

Awesome Shadowspite! Again I must compliment your work. Truly incredible. Now I can type my army lists in Drukh-Eltharin and my enimies won't have any idea what's in my army. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA etc.......

Now if I could only get the Name Generator to work.

Sorry

One question. I did all the junk I need to and the runes come up fine on my monitor, but my printer seems to think Drukh-Eltharin is Times New Roman. Whenever I print, it comes up as Times New Roman. Is this normal??
