They can be used to write Runic inscriptions with MS-Windows applications. There are three MS-WORD 6.0 macros that greatly simplify using the Fonts. Also included is a Windows Help file detailing the history, usage and keyboard mapping of all characters in the font. These fonts can not be sold for a profit. (Although, if you really enjoy using these fonts and need to find some financial way of showing your appreciation. Any and all donations will be gladly accepted.) CD-ROM and Shareware distributors are requested to notify me before distributing these fonts. These fonts may be used in any publication. Please contact me if these fonts do appear in a publication. I'd like to receive a copy of it, and I may be able to provide further assistance by creating custom fonts or clip art for you. These fonts are Postcard-ware. If you like these fonts, please send me a postcard or letter (using an attractive or interesting stamp). If you supply me with your email address, I'll try to write back. You can get my current postal address by visiting my WWW home page, listed below. If you do write, please tell me of your Runic writing interests. And feel free to offer any constructive suggestions for improving the fonts and the accompanying documentation. This document is my best attempt at explaining basic Rune usage. It does not describe all of the complexities of Rune usage, nor will it explain any details of the Old Germanic or Anglo-Saxon languages. This document is not official or authorized by anyone.
