Is there a downloadable font for Espruar, Thorass, and/or Dethek anywhere online?

I think there was a thread on this somewhere before... you might try using the Search feature and see what it comes up with. :)

Take a look through the Forgotten Realms Useful Links (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=186519) There are a couple of sites listed there which have downloadable fonts. Read the descroptions to find them :)

Bah, the elf and dwarf one is easy to find if you just search on forgotten realms fonts.

What I can't find...and would really really like help on, is the what font is used on the cover pages of most FR books?

Lords of Darkness, Magic of Faerun, Silvermarches. These all have some unique font on them and I can't figure out what it is or where to get it. Any help would be much appreciated.

See my previous post. Tarus you'll find the link you need in the links list.

Slightly off topic ... I don't think the credits given in that link you gave are right. I've seen those various fonts on the net. They are all available for free, but I am pretty sure they weren't all made by the same person.

Yeah, I saw those links but none seem to have the font im speaking of. The FR fonts there tend to me the fonts inside of the campaign setting, not the "Title" type.

Try this page: http://www.geocities.com/rgfdfaq/tsrfonts.html

The fancy title font (the one used in the FR logo) is called Splendors, and is available for free. The font used for the actual titles is called Democratica, and is not available for less than $40 or so, at least as far as I have seen. If you manage to find a clone somewhere, please post it here, because I would love to get it.

Ender that link is one of the links from the Useful Links List ... in fact its one of the links I recommended in a previous post :) I'm not trying to be smug or mean by saying this ... I am trying to get people into the habit of using all the useful information collected by the patrons of these boards.

I know, BigSis... it just seemed like Tarus was getting frustrated, and I didn't want to sound difficult.

In the future I'll try to point people to the FAQs instead. :)
