Finally got my hands on a Rihannsu font

I finally found a good Rihannsu TTF and can now start tinkering with my signature pic faster. I'll need to do a bit of a work around to get the text aligned from top-bottom, left-right to better simulate Romulan writing.

Current placeholder text in the sig is the character name and I intend for my Romulan char and a Romulan Republic fleet name.

:D

    Because you are not Rihanha?

    Yeah. Most of the Romulan words and phrases I can find would be from Diane Duane and they are not considered canon. :o

    As it turns out I misread the information on text direction. Romulan is written and read from left-right, top-bottom. :o

    This Romulan (Rihannsu) font comes from the Star
    Trek Encyclopedia and the Next Generation. All letters
    are canon. Romulan (Rihannsu) goes left to right
    & up and down. On the percent key is the symbol
    of the Romulan Star Empire.

    Sig format is:
    <Rank> <First (Given) name> <Second (Place) name> <Third (Family) name>
    <Fleet name> Romulan Republic.

    Finally got to use the font I mentioned. It has both upper case and lower case letters unlike most of the fonts I have found.

    It looks good, and the font looks cool.

    But, and here is my personal opinion/feedback on your sig.
    (Not that you asked for it, but anyway.)

    Try make it wider and lower, use the full 500 pixels width and try stay under 110 for height and see how it looks. Then I'd add just some words in Romulan, and write some info that actually can be read by others.. :)

    Rihannsu may not be officially canon, but STO takes many cues from Diane Duane's novels, so it is at least somewhat canon in this game.

    Oh the current lcars is by no means the final version. I am just using it as a placeholder while hashing out a 500 px width lcars. :D

    Well done and keep on with Rihannsu references, because look what "canon" does to the Rihannsu-
    Diane Duane took a little info and gave us a detailed culture that breathed.
    JJ blew up two of treks beloved planets and gave us skinheads with tatts -thats "canon"
