Talk:Deciphering the runes

This is a temporary layout. The translated parts should be displayed in a table or something; like one column for the screencap, one for the transcription/translation, and one for additional notes and speculah --[[Homerun-chan]] 12:45, 19 January 2011 (CST)

Archaic 'L' and modern 'I' are the same. Archaic 'I' should be changed. Commie 06:30, 20 January 2011 (CST)

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. --Piparkaq 03:25, 21 January 2011 (CST)

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) --Homerun-chan 11:54, 21 January 2011 (CST)

2011

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. Mic2070 00:55, 22 January 2011 (CST)

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. Holycrap 01:07, 22 January 2011 (CST)

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 Mic2070 01:10, 22 January 2011 (CST)

Why don't we agree that the 3rd rune shown is 2? It appears in the "Prolog Im Himmel 2011" shot too, so it's consistent --Homerun-chan 17:03, 31 January 2011 (CST)

  The runes flashing on Elly's screen look like a countdown showing the runes for the numbers 4 and 3.

  The runes for 0-6 as well as Q and X.

Musical runes

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. --Piparkaq 09:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

IE9 TTF support

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. Does any people know how to fix it and make it shown properly under IE9? --113.140.78.26 14:25, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

X and Q

Forgive my curiosity, but I'm wondering where the "X" and "Q" runes appeared in the anime. -- Universalperson 12:51, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

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 and found two unidentified runes. How did he conclude which of them is Q and which is X, remains a mystery to me. 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. --KFYatek 13:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Oh! Can't believe I missed that! Thanks! -- Universalperson 15:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

== Q Rune++ 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? 74.100.21.198 04:52, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
