Is there a runic font?
Rather than going through every map style, the faster approach was simply to go through the fonts installed on my computer and then check the ones I liked against the list of approved fonts on the How to Contribute page on the Atlas. I found some that unfortunately are not on the list. Davak is the Wizards of the Coast's official dwarven script, and Rellanic is their elvish script. I believe both are permitted for personal use, but I'm not sure if commercial use is permitted. Tengwar Cursive is Tolkien's elvish script, but in addition to limiting for personal use, the license specifically says that the Tolkien estate must approve for any commercial use. Similarly, there's a Hobbiton font for noncommercial use. Anglo Saxon Runes looks great but is also limited for noncommercial use.
Exploding a font and using them as symbols doesn't change the fact that they still read as a font and therefore are subject to any licensing limitations of the original font.
So a question for Remy:
- If there's a font that's not on the approved list but is available for commercial use, are we allowed to explode them and use them as symbols for Atlas submissions, or would you feel safer only using fonts on that approved list?
- (Moot question if the answer above is "no.") If there's a font that's not on the approved list but is available for noncommercial use only, does the Atlas count as noncommercial use that would allow permit that font to be used as an exploded symbol?
Thank you!

Adnati - Fractal Parchment Worlds
The most time-consuming part was the rivers. It was easy enough to bring them in and use Change Like Draw Tool to convert them to the color cutout rivers. The problem is that when Fractal Terrains exports them, they don't quite run to the oceans properly. I had to move some nodes and draw in some river lines to adjust them (and with over 500 rivers, that took some time). They're still not perfect, but good enough at this scale.
