I probably should do more by way of introduction for myself, but I'm swamped today and I really wanted to be sure I got this out there for everyone.

I've recently update two of my older Forgotten Realms fonts: Ancient Thorass, and Espruar, in an effort to clean up and reorganize my fantasy script references. Both have been cleaned up of errors, corrected back to 'canon' glyphs, and slightly renamed (Olde Thorass and Olde Espruar, accordingly).

I'm going to be plugging away at the others in the next few days (including a new Thorass from scratch), so if anyone has any comments or suggestions, now's going to be the time!

Edit: Thorass (3rd edition) is now up!

Now that these are finally corrected and updated - any chance I can get them updated HERE as well?

And, lastly, if anyone's seen anything of what's planned for 5E in regards to the Realm's languages and writing, could someone drop a line?

Not yet... I do have a few good sources to draw from, though. Hopefully this week or next. (I still have a lot of OTHER fonts to get to, such as the remaining Elder Scrolls fonts...)

Thank you. I still don't know what to do with it but they are very pretty.

One thin I noticed. Between Thorass and Olde Thorass, it seams there is a drift. I mean, if I type abcdef... and so on and align the two alphabet, there is great ressemblance but with 1 character differences c =d, d=e,e=f (but A and B seams ok). As if, in olde thorass, a new letter has taken place of the "c" and pushed the other characters.

I don't know if I'm clear?

English is not my primary language so forgive me for any mistake, I do my best (and spend skill point at my next level)

They did change Thorass pretty heavily between the two editions, so the resemblances seem to be more accidental than anything. The glyphs between the two do not relate to one-another, unfortunately. (Which is why the two different fonts were necessary.) So, gotta blame WOTC for this one. :)

Akantor, yes, there is a definite one-position-shifted resemblance for many of the glyphs in the 3e FRCS Thorass to the glyphs in the 1e/2e Thorass. I believe whomever did the graphic for the 3e FRCS lost track of what they were doing. The Olde Thorass font does correctly map the glyphs to Roman letters as per the 1e/2e charts.

Dalelands Uncial (2nd Edition Forgotten Realms headers) Updated, Reworked
http://www.pixelsagas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/album_dalelands_uncial.png
http://www.pixelsagas.com/?page_id=1015

Sorry this one took so long, I've been tweaking it and messing with it for years and the last couple of weeks I decided to just rebuild it outright. Note, there are still come differences between this and the text (notably the 'e') because TSR actually used a FEW different Uncial faces for their products are aren't entirely consistent. This is about as close as realistically possible to get all in one font, though, I think...

Horde boxed set, one of the cards that were included. Front face of the card has a "Language Chart" that shows the similarities between various languages of the Endless Waste, while the back face has an "Alphabet Chart" for those three scripts.

Since we've all forgotten our manners and I just came across this scroll, allow me to say:

"Thank you!" on behalf of all of your fellow scribes.

Your work is amazing and will certainly lend itself well to almost any gaming session.


Good Hunting!
