Could you go into more detail about the nature of this script's origins?
Comment by kowai0 20th october 2013
It looks like a form of tengwar from The Lord of the Rings.
Comment by sarreyn 20th october 2013
It is indeed, it was the first form of an alphabet I used for my language Caerth, the origins lay deeply rooted
in Tengwar indeed, many letters were inspired by it, but I mainly tried to make a foreign fantasy alphabet as easy as possible, therefore, many letters have the same "basic shapes"

And your idea to simplify it is sound. Hebrew is similar in this way—adding dots to alter the pronunciation of certain characters.
Comment by sarreyn 25th october 2013
I'm not sure if it was intentional, but some of the dots are offset?
Comment by sarreyn 25th october 2013
Actually, the dots indicate capital letters :)
I don't know why the dots are offset, though I'm not going to correct it, as I'm working on a new writing system.

That's funny—I had thought that that's what they were after the fact.

Tis one said it had a name table structure error when i was trying to install it. could you fix it?
Comment by MrPlatypusMan 19th november 2013
You will have to convert it to an opentype font, I don't know how to fix it, but converting it works fine for me.

It already is opentype.
