The rune font is pretty awesome. One improvement could be tho, that it could probably be adjusted better to the full height, instead of x-height. --[[User:Piparkaq|Piparkaq]] 03:25, 21 January 2011 (CST)<br />
<br />
Just wondering, why are there some parts in bold? If there is a particular reason (which I guess there is, there's no way shaftfags would do things randomly), then it should be explained somewhere (right before the chart maybe) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:54, 21 January 2011 (CST)<br />

== 2011 ==<br />
<br />
How does 5 symbols translate into 2011? No matter how I look at it, it absolutely cannot be 2011. If you must insist into making it "numerical runes", then it's something like 22*11 Voting for revert. [[User:Mic2070|Mic2070]] 00:55, 22 January 2011 (CST)<br />
<br />
2 is actually the 0-0 thing seen in the screencap. It's one symbol. I think some in a recent thread have been looking at the barcodes present in the mami mogu mogu box and the bottles, and analyzing the barcodes for their numbers. [[User:Holycrap|Holycrap]] 01:07, 22 January 2011 (CST)<br />
:Ok, I saw it. I'm currently catching up on the threads, sorry. I'll add that to the image's description, because it's really subtle [[User:Mic2070|Mic2070]] 01:10, 22 January 2011 (CST)<br />

== Musical runes ==<br />
Seems like the musical runes are made up of "real" musical notation parts. Going to make a set of the elements to make it easier to make the runes. --[[User:Piparkaq|Piparkaq]] 09:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)<br />

== IE9 TTF support ==<br />
<br />
It seems IE9 will not render a TTF font located on the web, unless it's "allowed to serve it from a web server", in order to avoid license problem.<br />
Does any people know how to fix it and make it shown properly under IE9?<br />

== X and Q ==<br />
Forgive my curiosity, but I'm wondering where the "X" and "Q" runes appeared in the anime. -- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 12:51, 14 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:They appear in the OP, in the scene where Madoka transforms with the assist of the other pink-haired girl. From ep2 onwards, there are runes floating all around the transformation bubble. Ep6 is best for inspection, thanks to its background color alternation (some shots have darker background that way). Apparently someone inspected that scene veeeery closely <s>and found two unidentified runes. How did he conclude which of them is Q and which is X, remains a mystery to me.</s> and found that some runes are spinning and fading into each other in alphabetical order. It's even pointed out in the ''"The runes for 0-6 as well as Q and X."'' image above. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 13:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC)<br />

Now that we've gotten a good look at the Q rune, is someone going to add it to the page, and/or the ttf? [[Special:Contributions/74.100.21.198|74.100.21.198]] 04:52, 22 April 2011 (UTC)<br />

:Amazing. The Texturae font distinguishes ß's lower and upper case. Our main font treats lower case ß as Archaic and doesn't support its upper case. How about putting "Modern Runic ß" on "capital ß (U+1E9E)?"
