- The Scriptorium Font Library
- The Scriptorium Font Library is a collection of fonts designed by Dave
- Nalle of Ragnarok Games for use in their publications, but now available to
- the public by direct mail. The emphasis of the collection is on original
- display fonts, unique historically based calligraphy, foreign language and
- unusual decorative art fonts. Unlike large font houses which produce cloned
- packages of the same 100 standard fonts, we offer high quality fonts you've
- never seen before and can't get anywhere else.
- Provided here is an up to date listing of all the font disks available at
- this time. Each disk includes as many fonts as we can fit on it (usually 8 to
- 12 fonts). They are fully registered when you purchase the disk.
