Have you made any changes to it? I've had the Thassilonian font installed for quite a while now.

Nope, it's the same as it was. I'm not sure if anything in the Thassilonian runes have changed since I made this. If you notice anything missing please let me know. :)

Five years ago, I posted a font made from the runes in the back of RotRL. The original thread is here: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2ia8g&page=1?Thassilonian-Runes-font

I happened to stumble across this thread (that's what I get for googling myself) and was encouraged that people actually liked the font I made, but disheartened to learn that it had quickly disappeared from the face of the Internet soon after I had posted it.

It was a darker time in the internet, where shared files would go missing after 6 months, and everyone had to beg everyone else to send them a copy.

So, to make amends, here's a link that will hopefully last through the ages. If you like it, I suggest mirroring it yourself.

Also included is the source file for FontForge, the software I used to make this font.

In all my years of roleplaying, I've never seen any correlation between level and age. I've seen ten year old, 6th level sorcerors and 80 year old, third level wizards. People with zero experience are 0th level characters. People with loads of experience are 10th level. If people complain about skill ranks and starting HP, ask them how they explain all this spellcasting business and all that elf nonsense.

really cool how do you install a font like that?

On Linux: Copy it to ~/.fonts/ and run `sudo fc-cache -f -v`

On Mac: http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/fixfonts/ht/install_fonts_m.htm

On Windows: http://www.myfonts.com/support/help_install_win.html

On a recent trip to the not-so-local game store, one of my players picked up "Burnt Offerings" and when the rest of my group (we're mostly Pathfinder groupies) realized there was a real, in-person copy of a Pathfinder adventure, we promptly made him buy it. He then left it with me, as I'm the GM most times. While reading it, I was entranced by the glyphs and runes in the backstory for Thassilon. Being a bit of a font buff, I decided to turn all those pretty runes into a handy-dandy font.

The ttf and sfd (Fontforge sourcefile) are located here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/owzdwn (If the powers that be dont like it, it can be deleted and I'll go away)

The glyphs are located in the range a-w inclusive.

Might be useful for GMs who want to produce say, handouts speckled with runes, or maybe even an encoded letter for your players to puzzle out.
