The other day while working on something, I pulled up the Espruar and Thorass Fonts to use (they're located on Candlekeep's site here, Espruar 1 seems to match what I see in the 1st edition FRCS... Espruar 2 seems to maybe match what I see in the 3rd edition FRCS... interestingly, I had not noted before now that they totally change the Elven alphabet between editions... which I will chalk up to as two different totally canon alphabets... in fact, the 1st edition may be the Hamarfae alphabet that is related to Seldruin, the language of Elven High Magic according to the 3e FRCS)
http://www.candlekeep.com/library/treasures.htm
Just a note, I also see that whoever did the Thorass typing in the 3e FRCS for Thorass TRIED to keep it the same, but they left out the letter C at the start, so its all jacked out of order (or they intend that Thorass never actually had a letter c and should use s and k wherever c would have been maybe).
Anyway, I noted that what we were calling Dethek didn't match what I see in the first edition FRCS nor whats in the 3rd edition FRCS.
However, I found a copy of what looks like the right font here and here (the first is made to look more chiseled, the second is very clean as if written on paper).

Anyway, after seeing this, I started thinking about the fact that the 3e FRCS lists other alphabets, and I was wondering if any of them are actually printed anywhere? For ease of reference, I'm listing the other alphabets below.
Draconic
Imaskari
Hamarfae (I'm positing that this is the original 1st edition Espruar)
Aquan - (since its sea based, probably would need more info on how its used)
Celestial
Infernal

This one could make for a good Imaskari possibly

the WSP Hethmarkn from this site makes a good draconic, and the WSP DarkSpeech would make a good infernal

Anyone seen any good hieroglyphic fonts sets to represent old Mulhorandi |

These are some of the font's I could find:
Celestial - http://haroldsfonts.com/testing/wp-content/uploads/Celestial_ex.gif (I used to have this font on my computer but can't seem to locate it now)
Infernal - http://www.imperial-library.info/content/aldmeri-alphabets (I had something similar to the Falemer font shown on the table in this link that I used for Infernal)
Glad you posted this, because it made me realize that I'm missing a number of fonts that I had found and once used to represent some of the alphabets listed, and will now have to search my various old HD's to see if I still have them and just failed to copy them over to my new one. |
