    This "Cirth Word Plugin" contains Microsoft Word 8.0 (Word 97) toolbar plug-ins to simplify using Dan Smith's Cirth fonts. These macros have been tested with the American/English version of Microsoft Word 97 thru Word 2003. (Based on previous experience, they should also work with the British, French and Spanish versions of Microsoft Word - they may not work with other versions of Microsoft Word such as Russian, Greek or Japanese.) REQUIREMENTS: You must install all of my Cirth fonts before you can use these macros. Please Note: The Microsoft Word toolbar plug-in contains WordBasic macros.

    Freeware/Shareware Fonts by Various People
    These fonts were created by a number of talented artists from all over the world, are generally freeware or shareware fonts. Each ZIP file should contain a 'READ-ME' file which will explain the distribution restrictions or shareware registration fees, if any. Links checked on: 08/FEB/2004

    ANGERTH.ZIP / 54693 bytes / October 16, 1994
    Angerthas was originally created as a Windows Truetype font by Bruce Kvam as freeware. Mr. Kvam based this font on the Angerthas rune chart found in 'The Lord of the Rings', Appendix E. He attempted to match each Tengwar letter to the most appropriate key on the keyboard. I've taken the liberty to add a postscript Type-1 version of his font to the ZIP file (for those who may require it).

    CIRTH.ZIP / 29955 bytes / March 19, 1997
    Angerthas Moria font was originally created as a Windows Truetype font by Morten Bek as freeware.

    ANGERT.ZIP / 9652 bytes / December 15, 1996
    Angerthas was originally created as a Windows Truetype font by Kasper de Jonge as freeware. Since this font uses the same name as the Angerthas font listed above, they can not be both installed on the same PC at the same time.
