+Hi there - Stayka is here! 1993/05/03
+
+My apologies for sending this stuff again, but I was told by a friend
+who successfully built the Klingon alphabet for LaTeX yesterday (as far
+as I know he will post it to the net as soon as it's completely ready -
+there are some minor adjustments to make...) how I could solve the
+problem with the missing blank space in the font. 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
