Response from developer

Sorry for the late response. I appreciate your positive feedback! Thank you!

Love the keyboard

Handy little keyboard. I really appreciate it. Thank you for making it.

I’m not sure if you are willing to update it, but my daughter and I want to be able to send each other texts in the alphabet on our iPhones and the letters are so fine it’s hard to read them. Could a bolder text for texts be possible? It’s not very legible currently when used that way.

Response from developer

Hello, walker1812! Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for your positive rating! Regarding bolder text: This is an issue that lies beyond the RuneKeys keyboard. The keyboard tells the operating system which Unicode character was typed by the user. The character is forwarded to the app that is receiving character input at the moment. The app choses how to present the characters by, for example, selecting a font. Most fonts do not contain the Unicode characters for runes and, depending on how the app displays text, the operating system provides the glyphs for such characters that are missing. Those glyphs are the thin runes you see in your message app. So, the solution might be complicated or not possible. Does the app used for messaging support custom fonts? Then it might be a solution for you to find, install and use such font. Otherwise, you are unfortunately left with the thin letters.

👍🏻

Die 1.99 Euro waren es auf jeden Fall wert. Sehr schön🌷

Response from developer

ᛊ (and variants with even more strokes) was used first and was later reduced to the three strokes variant in the Elder Futhark. You obtain ᛋ by tapping and holding the ᛊ key.
