- * RUNE FONT *
- *************
-
- The symbols in this font are Viking Runes, and are shown as is most common, in the
- Germanic symbol representation. The order of the runes is generally accepted as being
- as is shown in the sprite file, reading from left to right.
- If you load up the !Chars application on your computer, then this is the order in which
- you will see the runes in the Rune Font. It may be easier to
- type the runes into your documents using !Chars, or you can print out a copy of the
- keyboard locations of the symbols from the sprite file.
-
- I am not going to go into the history and use of runes here, but I can suggest some
- further reading, should you wish to know more about the subject :
-
- ARCARTI , Kristyna Runes For Beginners , Hodder and Stoughton , London , 1994
- BLUM , Ralph The Book Of Runes , Oracle Books , Los Angeles , 1982
- COOPER, D. Jackson Using The Runes , Aquarian, London, 1988

- Thats just about enough from me , so install your new Rune Font !
- 1. Shift-double click on the !Boot directory, which should be on your hard drive.
- 2. Find the Resources directory and double click on it.
- 3. Shift-double click on the !Fonts directory which should be in the Resources directory.
- 4. Copy the directory called Runes, from the floppy disk it is supplied on, into the
- !Font directory.
- 5. Hey Presto ! Rune Font installed and ready to use.
-
- One last word : due to the design of the font, it is only really looks good up to a size
- of 32 pt. From 33 pt size and larger, thesymbols start looking a bit ropey. Moral of the
- story, use a font size of 32 pt or less !
-
- Another last word : Fish
