Hello, I'm prepping for a Mythic Iceland campaign and would like to know what font is used for the special characters. Google is not being my friend. Names are important to me and I don't want to use transliteration and type out the english equivalents. Thanks, Grev

This is a maintenence release: Missing Divine/God Rune should now show correctly Version updated to 1.5 for clarity Filename updated to GloranthaCoreRunes1.5.ttf for clarity Please insure you remove any previous versions of this font before installing http://www.glorantha.com/docs/glorantha-core-rune-font/ Here's a dropbox link to the same file in case of download issues, up for 7 days. https://www.dropbox.com/s/72q3jzakzbevcqw/GloranthaCoreRunes1.5.ttf?dl=0 The Glorantha Core Font is used by Moon Design in their publications. It is a compilation of the most useful characters from the 42 or so fonts created in the 2000s by Greg Stafford. It’s provided here for use in your games. It is a Truetype font compatible with both Windows and Apple systems. Glorantha Core Runes is copyright © 2016 Moon Design Publications. Permission is granted for personal or fanzine use only, as long as a credit and copyright notice is included, the font is not altered, and no fee of any kind is charged for its use. The current version 1.5 was released on 27 Jan 2016 Notes on this font I compiled this font so that Rick, Jeff and others could finally have a standard font that had all the basic Gloranthan runes, without using old or multiple fonts. The arrangement of characters is based on their position in their original font. Very few had their positions changed, this was to reduce confusion when switching from the older fonts. Don’t try to look for any logical pattern in their arrangement, there isn’t one. If you are wondering why some characters are included and others aren’t, it was based on need and simplicity.

I've (finally) put the Khordavan font up at Glorantha.com. http://www.glorantha.com/docs/khordavan-font/ The Khordavan font was used in The Guide to Glorantha to produce the Dara Happan Sacred Alphabet on page 349. To use this font you will need the look at Guide page 349 or The Fortunate Succession page 93. It is a Truetype font compatible with both Windows and Apple systems.
