Maybe we can translate the actual Rosetta Stone text?
I think that would be a little too overenthusiastic, and besides that: probably impossible. Tongue
I'd say: good luck if you want to translate

I have a new version of Famrel for small sizes (like book text sizes) that is more suitable for pencil/typewriter/computer than a brush. http://is.gd/O4FCOi

I ran over my conlang with a bulldozer and this is the result.

It may be easier to write, but I think there are too much stripes to read. I like the round, lively look of the original Famrel more, godd job on this Famrel aWin though!

Made some pictures with my webcam of some test-writing I did. They're in the attachments of this post.

As much as I like to read the discussion about writing forms etc., I don't really join the conversation because my knowledge about all this is fairly limited...
However, I started studying the 'Eoio and Famrel (aKì'ong) fonts and currently are trying to achieve some sort of habit of writing it. My hands don't really like the round shapes of Famrel and I start making them straight, which gives it an entire different look...

I will try to draw it in Paint or something and then upload it. (During the learning process I had a lot of help from the 'groups' of letters: bilabial, (labio)dental, velar+glottal, "others".)

Famrel aWin has straight lines  Wink

and btw did you see my handwritten cursive Famrel in the 'Eoio thread? IMO it looks better than the font made by me, who is a total font noobie (Famrel is my first ever font and I used a professional (=hard to use) tool for it!)

I know, but I like Famrel in straight lines more then Famrel aWin... Tongue

I have seen it, yes it looks great but much harder to read. Undecided

Actually the handwritten version of famrel was my original idea, but as I said I make terrible fonts.

Well, the first one is really nice, but as I said before, the latter is the most readable...

So, writing Famrel (in the way I think it's easy to write) in MS Paint was a mess, that's why I wrote it by hand and then scanned it. You can find the scan in the attachments.
Writing all letters in straight lines is organised, quick and in my opinion easy to remember.
(There are a few things not written in straight lines (L and W) so there would be no confusion. (L and M, W and Px).)

I now see spelling out the Na'vi alphabet would look like this:

'E'/Tìftang, A, AW, AY, Ä, E, EW, EY, FÄ, HÄ, I, Ì, KEK, KxEKx, LEL, 'LL, MEM, NEN, NgENg, O, PEP, PxEPx, RER, 'RR, SÄ, TET, TSÄ, TxETx, U, VÄ, WÄ, YÄ, ZÄ and additional "letters" FLA, SLA, TSLA
'e'/tìFtaG a aW aY ä e eW eY fä hä i ì keK qeQ leL 9 meM neN geG o peP beB reR 8 sä teT cä deD u vä wä yä zä Fla Sla Cla

Of course alphabetical order could be entirely different for this alphabet Smiley Anyway, the Frommer-approved alphabet written fa Famrel elegantly illustrates every consonant, vowel, and diphthong, and frankly makes the non-Famrel spelling of the alphabet look more valid.
