Hi All and Phantom, I hope these are Norse Runes. I can't recall. Actually
I can't believe I found this 5 year old file on my hard drive! Weird.
Anyway here are the ones I saved, there may be more out there somewhere:
Well, now I see Odin as one of the runes listed below so hopefully these
are Norse. Gosh this file is so old I don't even recall if I made these
ascii runes or if someone else did. Nor do I care, my creative stuff is
public domain anyway. happy Holidays to you, Jon Melusky
