Bradfield. +They are distributed on the following conditions: + (a) You may make the source and generated fonts available at your site. + (b) You may use the generated fonts in any academic or non-commercial + publication. You may not charge, or allow any other user at your + site to charge, for use of these fonts. + (c) You, or any user at your site, may make modifications for his or + her own use. If you distribute any modified form of these files, you + must include the original files clearly labelled as such. + If you produce modifications that seem useful, you are asked to + send them to me, so that they can be incorporated into the master + files. + (d) You may redistribute these files to single individuals (who are + asked to act on the note below), but you may *not* place these + files in a public archive site without my permission. + +The tengwar font is still under development; when I consider that a +reasonably final version has been produced, conditions (c) and (d) +will no longer apply; but until then I ask you to comply. + + +*** PLEASE *** If you use these fonts, let me know (at the contact +address below). One day, I may actually get round to the necessary tidying +and improvement, at which time I shall want to replace all earlier versions. +In particular, I hope that the facilities of TeX 3.0 will allow a great +improvement in the "user interface" to the fonts. + + +****************************************** + +The only file that needs to be input is teng10.mf ; all the other +files are called by it. Hence, on a Unix system, the following +should generate a tengwar font at magnification \magstep1 for +the Apple Laserwriter: +mf '\mode:=imagen; mag := magstep1; input teng10' + +If you have difficulties, contact your local Metafont guru in +the first instance. + +***************************************** + +The cirth font is rather hastily put together, and is not properly +organized as yet. It is therefore distributed as a single stand-alone +file, so again all you have to do is: +mf '\mode:=imagen; mag := magstep1; input cirth' + +***************************************** + +The file teng.tex contains the macros I use for setting tenwar +when using TeX. I'm afraid they're not commented---tough! The general +idea is that the ^ character is used to put a vowel over its consonant, +so for example to print + Ai! laurie lantar lassi s\'urinen +in tengwar, I would type +{\quenya ^Ia l^Ua^ri^@e ^la^DaR ^la^Zi s^*u^ri^nen} + +You'll have to note which ASCII character corresponds to which +tengwa for yourself; I don't have a table prepared. A point to watch +out for is that in Quenya, 'v' usually transcribes vilya, which is +represented by the ASCII character w ; v represents the tengwa +amba (i.e. the encoding is basically set up for use with English). + +***************************************** + +Contacting me: + +I can be contacted by post at: + J.C. Bradfield + Dept of Computer Science + The King's Buildings + Mayfield Road + EDINBURGH + U.K. EH9 3JZ + +I can be contacted by electronic mail as: + jcb@lfcs.ed.ac.uk (in Internet domain ordering) + +If that doesn't work, you should kick your postmaster, and then +get him/her to tell you how to reach that address.
