     ..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.

I have, actually, been drawing up a plan to propose Tengwar and Cirth
encodings for Unicode, at least to register such encodings as a
standard for user-space. Mostly because of the beauty of the structure
of the writing system, in addition to the interest taken by linguists and
others.

Reports on the project are in the archives of the list
tolklang@dcs.ed.ac.uk. For information on retrieving from the
archive, contact Julian Bradfield, jcb@dcs.ed.ac.uk.

I have heard in response to my post on Tengwar that the font may not be
available anymore in the location specified. Should anyone still be looking
for a copy, I would be glad to send it directly, uuencoded.
