Hymmnos and Fonic Symbol Fonts
February 6th, 2009
Role-playing games often make use of symbols or writing in a completely different language, to really bring the story alive. It gives depth and adds more realism to the story envisioned by the creators. These often invite curiosity and interest, especially for one such as myself. These writings reveal a mysterious aura, and a message unknown to many.
Two such games are Ar Tonelico and Tales of The Abyss. Both games include symbolic fonts that are very much alike.
Finding Truetype Fonts for these symbols is quite rare. So it is somewhat fortunate to obtain these fonts.
Japanese fonts span a small scale when compared to the available library of English fonts. And the default installed Japanese typefaces that Microsoft provides, such as MSGothic and MSMincho, are barely enough for variety. Well, not surprising, as very few people really have the need for it… but for people like myself, who want to make use of Japanese fonts in their graphic work, having a wide array of Japanese fonts can be quite useful.
