Anyway, this has been really helpful! Thanks a lot. <3 Now to go make some cool alien fonts....

This is a great tutorial, ivanjs! I'm a bit of an etymology fan, and i like creating new languages for my Dungeons and Dragons games. After reading this tutorial I went to your site and have found a new resource for help on the web. Thanks a million!
