Font Information
About this Font
This font is distributed as shareware as part of a promotion for the Scriptorium Font
Library.
If you use this font for thirty days or for any publication or commercial purpose you
are obligated to register it as shareware.
To register the font you may pay a $5 registration fee to Ragnarok, or you may order a
sampler disk or the disk on which the font is featured for $15. The later option is the best
deal because you'll get a whole disk of legitimate, registered fonts for a very low price.
If for some reason you wish to distribute this font as part of a shareware collection or
package, please contact us first at the address (netmail or US Mail) or phone number
given below.
The rest of this is our standard catalog. If you like this font you'll love some of the
hundred-plus other fonts in the Scriptorium Font Library.
The Scriptorium Font Library
The Scriptorium Font Library is a collection of fonts designed by Dave Nalle of
Ragnarok Games for use in their publications, but now available to the public by direct
mail. The emphasis of the collection is on original display fonts, unique historically
based calligraphy, foreign language and unusual decorative art fonts. Unlike large font
houses which produce cloned packages of the same 100 standard fonts, we offer high
quality fonts you've never seen before and can't get anywhere else.
Provided here is an up to date listing of all the font disks available at this time. Each
disk includes as many fonts as we can fit on it (usually 8 to 12 fonts). They are fully
registered when you purchase the disk.
SFL-1001: Font Sampler I
This disk includes 3 text fonts, 3 calligraphic fonts, 3 display fonts and 3 specialty
fonts taken from our original series of font disks. It includes our very popular Taranis
font as well as the new Fabliaux font, the medieval calligraphic fonts Bastarda and
Courthand, plus two fonts from the Ysgarth role-playing game and the uniquely mystical
Goetic font based on 18th century magical scripts. $15. Update $5.
SFL-1002: Font Sampler II
This contains a new variety selection of fonts, including text, display, decorative and
calligraphic fonts taken mostly from our second series of font disks. $15. Update $5.
SFL-1003: Font Sampler III
A selection of fonts taken from our third series of font disks, including some
decorative initials, art fonts and unique display fonts. $15. Update $5.
SFL-2001: Text Fonts
This contains 10 unique serif and sans-serif fonts which meet the high resolution
demands of all text uses. The collection includes some elegant traditional fonts (both
serif and sans-serif) like our Tancred and Palomides fonts, plus some very unusual
offerings like the Kelmscott font based on William Morris' Troy font from the Kelmscott
edition of Chaucer's works. $15. Update $5.
SFL-2002: More Text Fonts
A collection of sophisticated and flexible text fonts, including some unique fonts and
some based on classic styles. Includes Boswell, Alcibiades, Proserpina, Ruffian and 6
other fonts. $15. Update $5.
SFL-3001: Display Fonts
This disk features 10 attractive display fonts, including several art nouveau and
medieval styles, plus a couple of unusual special use fonts. Our favorites are the Starfield
font, which looks like a scattered field of stars, the Buccaneer font, drawn from 17th
century wanted posters and the Ariosto and Elysian fonts based on hand drawn fonts of
the Munich Jugendstil movement of the 1890s. $15. Update $5.
SFL-3002: Display Fonts II
This disk features 10 unusual display fonts, including a number of interesting Art
Nouveau and early modern book plate styles, such as Beaumarchais, Averoigne and
Cymbeline. $15. Update $5.
SFL-3003: Display Fonts III
Ten more display fonts, including some of our strangest, such as Golgotha (made of
piled skulls), Eglantine, Mayhem and Sanguinary (title font from the game Suburban
Slasher - great for horror buffs). $15. Update $5.
SFL-4001: Calligraphic Fonts
This disk includes a variety of calligraphic fonts, including several Celtic-style fonts,
fonts based on medieval and renaissance calligraphy and calligraphy from several 19th
century art nouveau designers. Includes Bastarda, Courthand, Fabliaux, Rackham and
others. Because these are based on genuine calligraphy they may not include all the
characters you may expect and may include specialty characters or strange alternate
forms for some letters. $15. Update $5.
SFL-4002: Calligraphic Fonts II
This disk includes a variety of medieval English, French and Italian lettering styles
plus several Eastern European styles and a special font based on the calligraphy of
Howard Pyle. $15. Update $5.
SFL-4003: Calligraphic Fonts III
A special collection of unusual fonts based on hand-drawn renderings of medieval
and ancient lettering styles. Includes the fonts Constance, Talleyrand, Textura Quadrata
and Iberia. $15. Update $5.
SFL-5001: Specialty Fonts
A collection of fonts for languages which don't use the English alphabet, including
both obscure real world and historical languages and role-playing game world languages.
Check out the Bahairic and Futhark fonts if you want something really different. Oh,
and did you say you were going mad because you couldn't decorate your
computer-generated icons without Church Slavonic? Well, try Patriarch. It reads in
English, but looks like Church Slavonic. $15. Update $5.
SFL - 6001: Decorative Fonts
A special assortment of art fonts where each letter is a decorative initial or small
picture. It includes several illuminated manuscript alphabets, the extremely intricate
Maidens font and some Art Nouveau floral motifs. Because of the detail of these
decorative initials only 5 fonts are presented on this disk, but they are well worth it. $15.
Update $5.
SFL - 6002: More Decorative Fonts
This collection of decorative fonts includes some medieval classics and some very
detailed 19th century fonts, as well as decroative initials based on the works of Howard
Pyle and John D. Batten. Because of the intricacy of these fonts only 5 fonts are
presented on this disk. $15. Update $5.
SFL - 7001: Art Fonts
This is a collection of illustrations in font form, including animals, heraldic shields,
celtic spirals, arthurian miniatures, floral embellishments and more. These fonts are
intricate so only six could fit on the disk. $15. Update $5.

and classic print sources, including our popular new Fairies font featuring images of
mischievious little folk. Available in Spring of 1994. $15. Update $5.

A collection of runic fonts, including Scandinavian runes, Celtic Ogham
