Thanks alot for your help!
Now, i've followed your advice and downloaded the TengScribe..
Here comes another problem..
I've paste the words in the program, but i don't get to see any
Tengwar script at all..
Just some form of code or something.. Could you tell me what to do
with this code? Or am I doing it wrong again? ;)
I've red all the texts in the help option, but i didn't get any
further (my english is not that good..)
Here's a link to the printscreen i've made:
