Just a quick clarification that I am not Oliver Jovanovic; he gave me permission to post this font a long time ago, however. Unfortunately the contact information below is almost certainly no longer accurate, and I know of no other way to contact him.
The Word document included with the font in the zipped file
above is a guide to the font; it shows each rune and the
associated key to produce it. I've used this font quite a bit in
the art on this site, obviously, although the black & white
runes are actually my own original drawings (I know, big deal ).

My hope is that the distribution of this font will encourage the development and exchange of other such RQ products - if you have a Mac, IBM or otherwise portable computer based RQ product, or interesting RQ material in computer readable format, I'd be interested in seeing it as well.
For the most part, use of the font is fairly straightforward. Runes have been assigned to keys on the basis of alphabetical order or their resemblance to an an ASCII character to a rune (y for Truth, t for Death, * for Fate, etc.). For the most part, the lower or upper case versions of the character are identical - the uppercase (shifted) versions were included, where possible for the sake of convenience. In five cases, the shifted version version is different - these are generally variations of the unshifted rune:
e - Earth Shift e - Dark Earth f - Fire Shift f - Ice k - Cold Shift k - Heat n - Dragonewt Shift n - Dragon o - Light Shift o - Shadow In addition, four runes can only be accessed by a shifted combination - these are: Shift 1 "!" - Luck Shift 3 "#" - Trade Shift 6 "^" - Pamalt Shift 8 "*" - Fate Please note that if you are using a non-Postscript printer, the Truetype version of the font will generally give better results. The complete list (display in a monospaced font for best effect): RUNE KEY Air a or A Beast b or B Chaos c or C Cold k Darkness d or D Death t or T Disorder j or J Dragon Shift n or N Dragonewt n Earth, Light e Earth, Dark Shift e or E Fate Shift 8 or * Fertility x or X Fire f Harmony h or H Heat Shift k or K Hunger g or G Ice Shift f or F Illusion i or I Infinity 8 Law l or L Light o Luck Shift 1 or !
