About this font
The AnironC font is a replication of the font used in the front and end credits of Peter Jackson's "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy. It has been created by analyzing the characters in the movie credits as well as "Lord of the Rings" SEE DVD, where this font is used to a great extent.
Because the resolution on DVD is not high enough, I had to retrace the characters manually. Also, I created some missing characters, as well as the punctuation, numbers and some other characters. Also, a Cyrillic character set has been created from scratch.
The font contains the following character tables:
- Latin alphabet (the usual)
- Cyrillic characters (Russian alphabet)
- Numbers, punctuation etc.
This font is specially designed to match the needs of Russian users on systems which don't work well with the Unicode version of the Aniron font. In the AnironC version, the Cyrillic alphabet is located on the Western accent table as well as on the Unicode 1251 Page. You can download the Aniron font containing also western accent characters on my website.
Installation
This font is designed for use with Windows systems. In order to install the font, unzip the ZIP file into a directory on your hard disc, run Control Panel, Fonts, select File->Install New Font, select the directory you've extracted the archive into. You should see two fonts: "AnironC" and "AnironC Bold". After successful installation, the AnironC font is available for use.
Usage
You can use the AnironC font for headers as well as for paragraph text. Some measures have been done to ensure that it looks good and readable in both cases.
AnironC contains 1494 kerning pairs. If your application does not support kerning, the result will look a bit worse:
As you see, on the right example, the spacing between "AV" and "AT" is too large. For instance, Winword does not seem to support kerning. Graphics programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, however, do.
The capital characters are 150% size of the small characters. In the movie credits, capital characters are not used at all. However, there are capital characters in the LotR DVD bonus materials, with the same size ratio.
Also, notice that to match the bonus materials, the font has to be stretched vertically by the factor of 120%.
