I am looking for a font that looks Tau-ish, but is still English. I've found a "real" Tau font, but I can't read Tau. Anyone know the name of one or can point me in the right direction?

In the Tau codex there is the meaning and some phonetics to their letters that you found. Otherwise if you are looking for letters that are English with a Tau feel just go through your word processor until you find one you like.

Or, an alternative, maybe someone has a program where you can make your own font. Then you could just tau-ify english letters all you want.

I'm pretty sure that is the original GW Tau font.

**CrazyMez**

Yeah but it gives the letter forms?

**Skippy**

Id recommend googling free fonts and just browsing through until you find one you like

What do you mean by letter forms?

If you install the Tau font, you can type a sentence in English, change it to Tau font, and the letters are changed to the Tau equivalent.

Then you can make Tau notices and posters like this...

You can also type out ABC and then put the Tau letters below, allowing you to translate back easily.

I think the point was to get a font that looked like tau, but was still recognizable as english letters, so you wouldn't have to translate anything, it would just be recognizable as something vaguely tau related

Here's the possible font's I've found among the default in windows.

Personally I think Space Bd BT is the closest.
