    Is there an Ultima runic font anywhere that doesn't have the "rustic" look to it? I know there was one in U7 that was used for engraved brass/gold plaques that had serifs and looked like an "engraved" font, but I doubt that ever existed as an actual mac/windows font. I'd like to use one on this project, as I think the more rustic/chip carved look would not look as good in this situation. But I am unable to find an actual downloadable font.

    Ultima runic is essentially the same as "Elder Futhark". Try searching for an Elder Futhark font. I did that several years ago for non-Ultima reasons and found a couple of dozen.

    The symbols are all there, but the ones I found do not entirely match latin letters the same way. Part of why I want a font is to be able to easily make both a latin alphabet version and a runic version without having to change things letter by letter.

    There is no direct Latin -> Futharc mapping. One snag - if I remember right - is that the Latin "th" most correctly maps to a single rune:

    That was my point; the symbols are there, but it won't work the way I'd like it to.
