Elvish Fonts

Writing With Elvish Fonts is, believe it or not, a page put up by one Daniel Smith, someone who apparently has enough free time to create TrueType™ fonts for the main elvish scripts from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

“This guide aims to give an introduction to using fonts for writing with the Tengwar, an Elvish writing system in J. R. R. Tolkien’s novels. In The Lord of the Rings the Tengwar can be seen in the inscription on the One Ring and the text on the West Gate of Moria.”

The font files are available for download (Tengwar Quenya, Sindarin and Noldor), though these names only make sense if you’ve read Silmarillion, preferably recently or more than once. ;-) There are also Microsoft Word macros, plugins and tutorials available.

Who knows, maybe the best way to subvert John Ashcroft is to write everything in Sindarin script — let the FBI pound on that for a few months.
