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.

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.
