# Ringbearer distribution and Windows activation

Ringbearer Medium v1.00 is © Pete Klassen, 2002. All rights reserved.
The Windows font-fix package includes the complete, unchanged nine-file original
distribution in `assets/fonts/`, including both original READMEs and all companion
files. `ringbearer.ttf` is a byte-identical filename alias of `RINGM___.TTF` for the
existing runtime loader. The game loads it by default from its own directory;
it does not install a font into Windows, alter, subset or embed the font.

The complete original archive also remains in `extras/Ringbearer-original.zip`.
Archive SHA-256: `1a400cd55ece1ce992229ee167e1297c1e6373682d10ef309f8742f5b8d3d13b`.
TTF SHA-256: `22220f17fdcec646bc8d0597421f4a589022f93753b48ce1bff6fbb23ceb477b`.
`assets/FONT-MANIFEST.json` describes the preserved archive and its original
optional packaging; `assets/ACTIVE-FONT.json` records Windows activation.
The previous Linux release still carries the archive as an optional extra.

The author's English README permits free-of-charge distribution only with all
original archive contents. It limits use to private use and prohibits commercial
use and modification. The README separately credits the Lord of the Rings logo
© 2001–2003 New Line Cinema and Wingnut Films. Preserve and read the original
READMEs for the terms. Code licenses do not replace the font's own terms.
