zompist bboard

I'm asking because I do most linguistic and worldbuilding stuff on my Linux partition, while I do things involving programming and gaming on my Windows partition (seems kinda backwards, but this is cause Unity on Linux doesn't work properly), and I want to be able to use the Verdurian font if I ever decided I wanted to add to your conworld or say that somehow the alphabet arrived in my conworld via... what was that third way of transporting from Earth to Almea? "Improbaballistics"? Sure. Lets go Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy style.

The main problem here being that your Verdurian fonts are TrueType fonts... for Windows.

I'll go digging around to see if I can find out how Linux handles fonts, but otherwise I'm looking at you Zompist.

I don't know, I can install them on KDE just fine.

I don't have Linux and I don't have a font program any more, so I can't help you directly. If someone wants to create a Linux font, they're welcome to. If it helps I can send them the Fontographer files. (They don't work on my Mac because Apple keeps changing its CPU, and that program was two cycles ago.)
