This should give you the basics on how to use the font, as well as a heads-up on what to expect in the next version. TTF Sindarin (1.01) can be found here

Before

Before this font there were other fonts created by Elf-freaks like myself (though I don't drool uncontrollably when I seen Legolas), and they sucked ass. The keyboard was treated like a grid in a game of battleship. Sindarin pronunciation of symbols are based mainly on four tongue positions and variations in the mouth when sounds are made. Four symbols that are similar in sound are k, kh, g and gh. It MIGHT NOT MAKE SENSE to slap them down horizontally across the keyboard. Yes, the keyboard letters "QWER" represented the same order of letters as noted above. How vile and... useless. You'd heave to learn how to use the keyboard all over again to use this font! And there were characters in the F-keys! WTF?! I got fed up.

Now

Now, what I have a new, maye nicer looking, somewhat fixed alphabet. The fun part was figuring outhow to get the vowels to overlay themselves on the consonants. I had to offset the vowels in order to do this but this means you cannot easily type two vowels beside one another. Maybe I shouldn't have released this font, you might be thinking. Well dammit I've been working on it since before I moved to Hamilton! I bloody-well spent too much time working on html-based code to make sure you didn't have to download the font to read it, and while I was out here on the cold plains I fixed up some more things and made it public anyway. But I didn't make c and k the same character. Why? All c's in Sindarin are hard like a k, but Sindarin doesn't have the exact same alphabet as English. They don't have j for instance, or a sh sounds, and an x would have to be pronounced eksz in some cases (Xaivier, for instance) Plus there are a half-dozen other characters English doesn't have. I do want all of non-English characters to be available in the next version. I've done my best to match up English-alphaet charactes with Sindarin-alphabet characters and this is the result. Rememer that in order for the word to be read and pronounced properly, you must spell it fonetekalli, or as best you can. In order to make double-vowel words, like again (agaAin), you must type instead: agaAin. This is case sensitive. The spacing isn't perfect though, sorry. The lower-case a jumps the vowel ahead as if it were being written over a consonant and the upper-case a jumps back to make the stick for the lonely vowel. MS Word will go ape-shit over this during spell-check.

Future

Ah, what will the future bring? The complete Sindarin alphabet, 100% correctly (using common sense) mapped characters, better spacing, smoother characters, trailing/overlapping ornamental tails and whatever else I can think of or you can suggest. If you're interested in lending a helping hand, babble me.

And now, the above text in the Sindarin 1.01 font:
