Description
TrueType font made with Fontstruct at [link]HOW TO USE THIS FONT
This is a medieval Rune Alphabet and it contains 27 letters (Runes). This font contains some additional characters.
The medieval Rune Alphabet is developed from the Viking time long twig (långkvist) and short twig (kortkvist) Futhark Runes.

The Rune Alphabet is not written in the order of the older Rune “alphabets”, f u th a r k, but in the same order as the Latin Alphabet.
There are no special upper or lower case Runes. Using this font you should generally speaking just use lower case keys.
Some Runes are used for more than one Latin letter in this font.
The i-rune is used for i and j in this font.
The k-rune is used for k, q and x in this font.
The s-rune is used for c, and z in this font. If c have the sound value "k", use k instead.
The v-rune is used for v and w in this font.
These uppercase keys have special Runes connected to them
The A-key will get you the "ae"-Rune.
The D-key will get you the "dh"-Rune.
The O-key will get you the "oe"-Rune.
The T-key will get you the "th"-Rune. This rune also represents the “dt”-sound.
These Upper Case Keys will get you alternative Runes to the once given by the same Lower Case Keys;
P, S, Y and Z
Other Upper Case Keys gives you the same runes as the same Lower Case Keys.
The space-key will give you a dot that sometimes was used between words. The point-key will get you a double dot.
There are no special Runes for numbers. Runes have however been used to represent numbers in medieval Almanacs
In the Gyllental (the aureus numerus) Runes
1=f, 2=u, 3=th, 4=o (which originally was “a”), 5=r, 6=k, 7=h, 8=n, 9=i
10=a, 11=s, 12=t, 13=b, 14=1, 15=m, 16=R
Which basically is the longkvist younger Futhark (except that l and m have switched places).
The Gyllental Runes contain three extra runes for the numbers 17-19. These are bindrunor, Runes constructed out of two other runes.
In this font you will find the Gyllental Runes;
1-9 at the 1-9 keys
10 at the A-key,
11 at the S-key,
12 at the &-key (långkvist t, the Rune Alphabet t is a kortkvist t),
13 at the b-key,
14 at the l-key,
15 at the m-key,
16 at the y-key,
17 at the /-key,
18 at the (-key and
19 at the )-key.

Ay, vet inte hur aktiv du är med att uppdatera men la märke till ett problem med fonten! Det alternativa S'et är felvänt!
Det här är S'et i din font: i.imgur.com/1vqKA3r.png
Det här är S'et i Codex Runicus (och övriga skrifter): upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
Bara en liten anekdot! Annars en riktigt bra font, och tycker det är fiffigt att använda stora bokstäver för alternativa tecken!

Tack för synpunkten.
Det är ganska länge sedan jag gjorde den där fonten och det är inte något som jag kontinuerligt sysslar med.
Jag är inte säkert hur jag tänkte vid den tidpunkten. Sannolikt har jag gjort det avsiktligt. Den "rättvända" s-runan är något smittad av senare användning. Jag brukar undvika att använda den versionen. För äldre runversioner förefaller det alltid ha varit möjligt att spegelvända en runa. Den medeltida versionen var möjligen mindre flexibel.

In the top right corner of the page you have a download button. Using that function you can save the a zip-file to your harddrive.
Then you open the zipfile, find the runalfabet.ttf-file and using click-&-drag you move that file into a fonts folder on your harddrive (c:/windows/fonts) and your ready to go.
