(excuse me if this is FAQ material or crops up
regularly -- I haven't been able to follow this
newsgroup closely)

A friend of mine is looking for a rune font which
contains the "common germanic" (old set) runes.
While it has been fairly easy for him to obtain
fonts with the set/subsets used by our ancestors
in the Middle Ages ("yngre" as opposed to the "eldre"
"runerekka", in Norw.), he misses some of the
letters of the older set (among them the _ng_ rune,
I guess).

Does anyone have any tips?

Our Futhark font does have the 'ng' rune, but it doesn't necessarily
have all the characters from all the possible runic alphabets. That
would be hard to manage.

If you or your friend (or anyone else) would like one of our catalogs
with info on our upcoming package of runic fonts, drop me a line in
email with your address and I'll see you get one.
