You know...considering how massive and passionate Tolkien fandom is, there probably IS an Elvish font. (Lots of them, even.) I never thought to look for one.

I've never been good with languages (to my disappointment) so learning Elvish myself was out of the question, but it's a lovely language and I would love to be able to speak it or write in it.

There is. Somewhere there's a website for downloading fonts for free that had a pile of various styles of Tengwar including relatively simple styles, fancy ones like the style on the One Ring, a Teleri style where all the letters were swans. I downloaded a pile of them at one point. I probably still have them buried somewhere in my portable drive where I keep my back-ups.

But you do have to get proper lists for what sounds the letters stand for because they are not set on the keys that match them, and that's not even getting into things like where to put the vowel marks and learning how Sindarin and Quenya actually work.

(Sorry for going on, I have memories of the time back in '04 when I got into playing with tengwar.)

It never fails to impress me how enthusiastic and thorough fandom is.

That said, I just don't have the patience for something like this, even if I had the ability to learn. (Which I totally do not.)

It pleases me to know that these things exist, though.

Back then I knew someone who was running lessons online for Sindarin, but I, like you, didn't have the brain for it. At the most I cobble together bits from my Quenya wordlists when I make up names for RP. I probably don't do it right.
