.or basically, that there is a tengwar font (Windows TrueType format)
available via anonymous ftp from vcdec.cvut.cz in pub/uploads/Fonts
called tengwar.zip. It says further that you will need PKUNZIP 2.0 to
extract it, and that it's available from pub.vse.cz in
pub/msdos/simtel/zip/pkz204g.exe. Most of you can probably find the latter
much closer to home of course.

This will be very useful for anyone attempting to localize into Elvish
but I am not sure how this maps into UNICODE. (The glyphs are very nicely
formed, I might add. I haven't gone back to see how the phonetics map to
their ASCII assignments, but the vowel marks appear to be correct. I can't
find my copy of _Return of the King_ though.)

You may also encounter difficulty in finding keyboard resources, since
Microsoft hasn't announced support for it yet.
