Font query.

[Chris Howard <se...@gmail.com>]

Hi, my name is Chris, an authoring hopeful. And currently I am in the midst
of writing a book, a fantasy horror, the only problem is that I want to be
able to write particular parts of it in Elven languages such as Tengwar,
Quenyar and Sindirin. I cannot find any sources to help me along with this,
so would it be possible to make the fonts available for budding authors
such as myself? Yours sincerely, Chris.

You also need to create a paragraph style for each language. In each of 
these styles, select the font that you want to use for that language. (I 
am assuming that any given paragraph contains only a single language.) 
Any time you are changing languages between paragraphs, make sure you 
assign the proper style for the new paragraph: click the new paragraph 
and then double click the style for the language you will be using in it.

If you are not acquainted with styles, you need to learn how to use 
them. There should be a Writer Guide for this very purpose.
