School really sucked today, I got 2 bad marks:

In Tengscribe 1.1.0 there are exactly 4 Standart-Modes:
Black Speech, English, Quenya and Sindarin. No Beleriand.
I didn't even knew that there is a Sindarin-Mode of Beleriand,
I have only the standart sindarin mode, and my piece of Sindarin is
drawn in the Style of this Standart-Mode.

PS: Where can I download the Beleriand Mode (or other) ?

Generated ASCII-Art is for Losers. I just translated "galwen nin mellon" into a Tengwar Font, and then took this, zoomed it, and drew my picture with this. Because I had no picture on which I could see, what "galwen nin mellon" looks like in tengwar. so the programm made a TEXT document with "galwen nin mellon" in tengwar. Tengwar doesn't produce ASCII-Art, it produces a simple text-file, but the font isnt times new roman, or any other common font, its a tengwar font. The output of Tengwar looks like this: http://www.8ung.at/jackel/tengscribe.jpg I took this dokument, looked at it, and then drew my ASCII-picture. Its like I look at a picture, and then paint an ASCII-Picture of this original picture. Greets Daniel -- .'. SPACE INVADERS .'. .'.#.'. .'.#.'. :#####: __.^.__ :#####: //^\\ | 4ever | //^\\

It already exists a Tengwar Figlet Font:

There is a font called "tengwar" though I forget where I got it from. It
doesn't translate English to the English tengwar mode - it just contains
the tengwar characters. You have to translate it yourself.
This is apparently "mellon":
