Furthermore I +corrected the spacing between the letters, they should look better now. +Unfortunately at the moment I have no tool to make a shar archive of the +files, but I hope you will forgive me... + +BTW, I compiled the runes with the following command. As example I use +the 10pt version of the Futhark font for hp-Laser-/Deskjet (300dpi). +I run Metafont under SCO-Unix, but I'd say it shouldn't be too different +to use the DOS/Mac/Amiga/Atari/??? versions of Metafont. + +mf "\mode:= CanonCX;" "\mag:= 1;" \input futhol10 + +This will build the gf-file. To get the pk-file you have to invoke the +program gftopk, and afterwards copy tfm and pk files into the +directories where they belong. + +And now again here's the Metafont source for the Older Futhark alphabet +with corrected spacing between the letters. They are as good as Shavana +and I managed to design them. I include the parameter files and the +files to compile 10pt, 20pt, 30pt, 40pt and 50pt runes, which should +cover almost every case. + +This font should be used with LaTeX and the old font selection scheme, +as I haven't created a font family and so on for it yet. Who wants to +use AmS-LaTeX or the new font selection scheme has to put a little more +work in it. + +I didn't encounter any problems compiling this font with Metafont (with +plain bases, not the computer modern ones), and I hope you don't either. +Enjoy! + + +Walk in the Light! + Stayka deyAvemta + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Email: hz225wu@unidui.uni-duisburg.de | We live in a universe of magic! + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- + |
