Sindarin TTF

I grabbed a True Type Font (TTF) for Word of Sindarin. It's totally wonkey the way it works, but it does work. I made this table to help myself at least enter in the characters correctly because Word combined with the keyboard setup for this font will butcher what you attempt to type in. I'd like to re-arrange the font to change what keystrokes trigger a character, but that requires more effort than it does to make this table. I'll do that when I have more time. For now, here is the location of the font that I grabbed. I don't remember which of the three I am using but oh well.

Here are the default keystrokes mapped for you. Even in PoC style colouring, or as best as I could figure. The first image is of the characters on their own, the image below is of them when you hold the shift key, or, have Caps Lock on. The characters will move back and forth between the two variations, depending on what you have setup. It's pretty funky to make the vowels appear over the consonants, and I just lost my train of thought because I smell apple-cinnamon muffins...
