* Fonts ** [http://home.att.net/~jameskass/code2001.htm|Code2001] - A [http://www.unicode.org|Unicode] font which has experimental support for ((Michael Everson))'s Tengwar Unicode Proposal. ***Requires that your OS cope with 'Astral Planes' (i.e. Unicode characters past hex 0xFFFF), which is where Tengwar keeps good company with Etruscan and Deseret --- though also Musical notations (including Byzantine and Gregorian neumes), Hieroglyphs, Mayan, and the oodles of Cantonese-specific characters that wouldn't fit below 0xFFFF. Making it cope is non-trivial in several instances. ****''Huh? Tengwar currently starts at 0xE000'' That's the Private Use section of Unicode, which means it's not intended as a permanent solution or canonical mapping. The proposal proper is for 0x1xxxx, and has not yet been approved. It will likelier fare better than Klingon pIqaD, though... :-( *****''Ooops'' ** Are there any other Unicode Tengwar Fonts? (I'm working on a ((yudit)) mode for Tengwar, and Code2001 has spacing issues) *Editors ** [http://user.tninet.se/~xof995c/tengscribe.htm|Tengwar Scribe] for Windows. *** [http://www.eldritch.org/erskin/pub|Original lojban mode] (direct link) *** [http://www.opoudjis.net/dist/lojbanmodes.zip|nitcion's lojban modes] ** [http://www.jadro.cz/tengwar/index.php|YaTT] for Windows, Linux, and other OS's *** Canonical lojban and xwaver's mode available
