From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Seriously thank you to everyone who helped beta read for this project - it was super helpful.

Here is a link to the book you helped me create: Write English with Tengwar

Here are all of the ISBNs for different distributors (there may be more to add, if I can make a spiral bound version especially):

Amazon: 978-1-6543-5582-1

IngramSpark: 978-1-0878-6415-0

Lulu: 978-1-67811-476-3

First: OpenOffice is dead, you should use LibreOffice instead. It started as a derivative (fork, in the software jargon) and is the maintained and updated version for several years now.

Now the practical things: it seems you installed the Unicode version of the font but you are trying to use it with Dan Smith's encoding. Does it appears as "Tengwar Telcontar Unicode" in the font name field?

Unicode fonts are usually the better approach for this and it is how we are handling documents with multiple writing systems in the modern (post-1994) way while Dan Smith's encoding is a very practical hack that was created before Unicode was widely available in Windows. The problem is that writing with non-Roman alphabets require assistance from an Unicode Input Method (as needed, e.g., for typing Japanese with an US-ASCII keyboard) and no such thing exists for Tengwar.

So, you can install the Dan Smith's version (both can coexist, no need to uninstall the existing one) and use the keyboard tricks to enter the text or keep using Unicode and use the "Insert symbol" window for writing.

I come late to answer you, but some days ago a redditor on r/Calligraphy recommended me a light box. It does not solve the problem of misalignment, but at least the guidelines will be visible. It works like a charm for me!

There several programs which copy existing transcribers. E. g., https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.blackenvelope.write.elvish - compare app icon and screenshots and note ugly tehtar placing. The rest are probably even worse.

But Tecendil works nice in mobile browsers.

If you need keyboard - there is plugin for some third-party kbd: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=klye.plugin.x8

I got it here: VALERY Classic Leather Writing Journal Lined Pages Diary Notebook -8.54*6.2'-160 sheets 320 pages- Tree of Life Green https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZULH61U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_0VhWwbGVW6X12

I looked into it, and I quite like the look of this pen! I will probably be purchasing this. However, why the broad nib? I would think you would want a finer nib for something like this. (I honestly don't know a lot about this, so feel free to educate me. Haha.)

THIS is what I should be getting? (http://www.amazon.com/Nemosine-Fission-Fountain-German-NEM-FIS-02-F/dp/B00JG0GT2I?th=1&psc=1)
