I may be able to help you if you want Sindarin and not Quenya. First, you need the keyboard mapping to go along with the fonts, otherwise you won't get the correct results. It also depends on what fonts you have. Here is a download link for Dan Smith's fantasy fonts www.acondia.com/font_tengwar/index.htmlDownload the Sindarin font pack it should come with a keyboard map. Next you should get the Dragonflame Sindarin Dictionary. you can find it here www.jrrvf.com/hisweloke/sindar/df20.htmlYou need to download the fonts before the dictionary. The dictionary has a section at the bottom that will show you the tengwar for a Sindarin word if the fonts are installed first. And last I will try to e-mail you what I came up with for you. Let me know if you get it ok. Hope this can help you. |

I will try to send the e-mail again. What you got is english love written in tengwar. If you want the Sindarin word for love written in tengwar, on your dragonflame click on the sindarin tab, enter meleth(sindarin love) or mil( sindarin love and affection) and you should have it. I am sorry I didn't give you that info the first time. You can do it by entering the english word, but in the results definition section you have to click on the sindarin words that come up in order to get the sindarin tengwar. Also at the bottom(where the tengwar comes up) you can choose the tengwar mode, sindarin or sindarin classic ( which will produce different tengwar results). I know this is alot, hopefully my explanation isn't to confusing.
