Summary description: A package for writing tengwar with LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Update text:
In version 1.2 I've created ENC files and virtual fonts, so that now the
original TTF font files can be used, at least with pdflatex, and characters
from "alt" fonts are available. There are also some changes in the s-hooks,
and roman punctation as well as some alternate tengwar shapes.
Description text:
The TengwarScript package provides a mid-level access to tengwar fonts
while still generating good output by default. Each tengwar sign has an
individual command, which should place the sign nicely with relation to
the preceding signs. So, to write the word "quetta" in Quenya mode one
would write: \Tquesse\TTacute\Ttinco\TTdoubler\TTthreedots
TengwarScript supports several free tengwar fonts, including Dan Smith's
fonts, Tengwar Parmaite, Tengwar Annatar and others. The full set of
supported fonts can be found in the manual and in the sample "tengfonts.pdf"
file.
