Kingdoms of Kalamar/Tellene Font Set

Description

KINGDOMS OF KALAMAR FONTS
VERSION 1.0

————————————
WHAT IS THE KINGDOMS OF KALAMAR AND WHAT ARE THESE FONTS?
————————————

The Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting is a medieval-fantasy setting usable with almost any roleplaying game. In this realistic, dynamic world, complex political alliances mix with marauding bands of humanoids, and medieval technology and culture come face to face with magic and the fantastic. Whatever type of adventure you seek, you can find it here.

The Kingdoms of Kalamar fonts represent the written languages used by the most prominent human and humanoid races. More information about each race and their language can be found in the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting sourcebook.

————————————
HUMAN AND HUMANOID LANGUAGES
————————————

The six human races are the Brandobians, Dejy, Fhokki, Kalamarans, Reanaarians and Svimohz. Note that the Brandobians and Kalamarans each have two fonts (ancient and modern), and the Dejy have no font, for their written word has been lost to time.

The five prominent humanoid races are the dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings and hobgoblins. Note that dwarves write right to left, rather than left to right, and that the elven font is actually Low Elven, as the written High Elven is so intricate that it takes even a skilled scribe 3-4 hours to draw one character! Also, note that gnomes use the Dwarven font, while halflings rely on Merchant’s Tongue or the local human language to write their text.

Merchant’s Tongue is an international trader’s language, for which you can use a standard American or English font. However, each font does include the special Merchant’s Tongue numerals. In general, however, most races (especially humanoids) use their letters as numbers. For example, the first letter of the alphabet “A” represents the number “1”. The second letter of the alphabet “B” (or “AA” in Reanaarese) represents the number “2”, and so on.

————————————
INSTALLING MACINTOSH FONTS
————————————

In most cases, installing fonts on a Mac is as simple as dragging and dropping them into the System Fonts folder (Macintosh HD:System:Fonts). However, if you have any questions, you should always check your instruction manual, help files, or Macintosh technical support before installing.

Note that any currently running applications won’t be able to use the new fonts until you close them and restart them.

————————————
USING THE KINGDOMS OF KALAMAR FONTS
————————————

Once the fonts are installed, for the most part you use them in the manner you use any other font installed on your computer. Differences are noted below.

1) MISSING LETTERS
As you use these fonts, you will notice that some keystrokes leave a black rectangle in place of a letter. This indicates that the letter in question does not exist in that race’s alphabet.

2) ADDITIONAL LETTERS
As well as missing letters, these alphabets also have additional letters/sounds. These letters, as well as their keystrokes, are indicated below. Simply hold down the SHIFT key while striking the appropriate number key, just as you would normally (SHIFT + 1 = !).

BRANDOBIAN:
LD = ! (exclaim)
LN = @ (at)
ND = # (number)
VL = $ (dollar)
VR = % (percent)

DWARVEN
TH = ! (exclaim)

FHOKKI
GG = ! (exclaim)
KK = @ (at)
RR = # (number)
TT = $ (dollar)

HOBGOBLIN
GG = ! (exclaim)
KK = @ (at)
RR = # (number)
TT = $ (dollar)

KALAMARAN
Ka- = ! (exclaim)
TH = @ (at)

REANAARESE
AA = ! (exclaim)
EA = @ (at)
II = # (number)
OA = $ (dollar)
OO = % (percent)

SVIMOHZISH
HZ = ! (exclaim)
NH = @ (at)
SV = # (number)
WH = $ (dollar)
ZH = % (percent)

3) NUMBERS
As mentioned above, each font includes the special Merchant’s Tongue numerals. However, most races use letters as numbers. For example, the first letter of the alphabet “A” represents the number “1”. The second letter of the alphabet “B” (or “AA” in Reanaarese) represents the number “2”, and so on.
