Agreed, here's a link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... mplate.doc to the structure of what Robin has mentioned above. If you have the appropriate font loaded then the content within it will appear as per the font type that should be used for that particular heading or body of text.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I already downloaded that document and the associated font, what I was looking for is the one used exclusively for the character sheet.

Looking at the official character sheet through an editor the wording looks like it's called "Tolkienesque" from what I can gather.

Funny that Rich, that's exactly what I posted in the first response to the OP on this thread :-)

Tolkienesque costs real money which is why he want's something that looks like Tolkienesque but is free for use.

I did wonder if not embedding the font would get around the restriction so requiring each user of the sheet to download the free-for-personal-use version of Tolkienesque.

Pretty much. I found that site after Hermes first post. Given the situation I'll try to put together something with my limited resources.

Wish me luck.

Me gotz somefink more:

His name was Woodclaw, he was a gamer
With a feat die in his hand and a book whose binding's wear
He would ask questions on the TOR forum
And while he tried to search a far
TOR always wanted more
Across websites and more, he searched fonts to install
He had character sheets and rulebooks
Why should he ask for more?

In old Como, Itali-a-a
The geekiest spot to Venezia
In old Como, Itali-a-a
One Ring adventures were always in fashion
In old Como.... He found his fonts


I have no idea why I picked it, but sing the above to the tune of Barry Manilow's 'Copacabana'. :shock:

:mrgreen:

Edited to add:
Try http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html
There might be something there that works.
