- The Scriptorium Font Library
- The Scriptorium Font Library is a collection of fonts designed by Dave Nalle of
- Ragnarok Games for use in their publications, but now available to the public by
- direct mail. The emphasis of the collection is on original display fonts, unique
- historically based calligraphy, foreign language and unusual decorative art fonts.
- Unlike large font houses which produce cloned packages of the same 100 standard
- fonts, we offer high quality fonts you've never seen before and can't get anywhere
- else.
- Provided here is an up to date listing of all the font disks available at this
- time. Each disk includes as many fonts as we can fit on it (usually 8 to 12 fonts).
