Hello, and welcome to the Rune Fonts website.
So I decided it was a good idea to have a website called Rune Fonts that would be easy to find on the search engines and gather all the original rune fonts I could find in one place for my own and your convenience. I have added some comments about the fonts and I hope this will help you choose something suitable for your purpose.
Another nuisance I found was many fonts that have rune-related names are nothing more than normal alphabet characters in fancy styles. But the thing that annoyed me the most was trying to find what letter key corresponds to which rune. All the fonts have different layouts - none of them very logical -making the trial-and-error process very frustrating. In the end I decided to design my own fonts for use on my Runemaker websites. These are also available for download here on this site. They are not free, however. They took weeks to develop, so I am charging a nominal fee for each of the packages on offer. To the best of my knowledge all of these self-designed fonts are complete and accurate. Visit the Download Fonts page for prices and details. This is what the fonts look like:
RuneMaker and RuneMaster Font Pack - US$11.95 for 6 fonts
RuneCraft Font Pack - US$13.45 for 5 fonts
RuneSans Font Pack - US13.45 for 5 fonts
RuneGrafic Font Pack - US$14.95 for 4 graphic fonts The fonts are all in Windows TTF format and will require conversion for use on other operating systems. Each font contains 40 characters representing all the runes of both the Elder (Norse) Futhark and the Anglo-Saxon (Frisian) Futhorc, plus a couple of traditional punctuation marks. The packages are supplied with a a font installation tutorial and a keyboard map showing which letter key corresponds to each rune. The key allocations follow a logical system that will soon become second nature to you. Each rune is found on the corresponding letter key. E.g. Ansuz uses A, Berkanan uses B, and so on with the exception of Ingwaz and Thurisaz which have no English letter equivalents so I have made special arrangements for them. Elder Futhark runes appear on lower case keys and Anglo-Saxon runes on upper case. Buy the All-Fonts Pack containing all 20 fonts at 20% discount for US$42.45. Please visit the downloads page to order. I hope you enjoy your visit and find what you want. And if you feel like rewarding me for saving you a lot of surfing, spend a few bucks on my fonts and thereby earn my undying gratitude. If you want to check on the meanings of the runes click here. Please email me if you want any further information, or if you know about any other free rune fonts that I have missed. You can email me from the Contact page.

I got really fed up looking for rune
fonts on the web. They are often hidden away in strange hard-to-find places and the joy of finding a new one is soon crushed when
you find it's the same old rune font given a different name.
I found that most of the fonts I downloaded
had something wrong with them. Some are all mixed up, Elder
Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc and Odin knows what else all jumbled
together. Some have invented or incorrectly drawn rune glyphs, mirror imaged
runes, upside down runes and so on. Some are poorly drawn,
different sizes within the same font, or just downright ugly!
