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)

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
