Hesperides is a complete rewrite of Dragon Flame for Mac OS X, contributed by Thomas Deniau. Hesperides integrates Hiswelókë's Sindarin dictionary (currently
based on lexicon 0.994), with a state-of-the-art Mac OS X interface and the Narmacil engine
(courtesy of the YaTT project and used to transcribe words in Tengwar).
Hesperides requires Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.
Notes:
-
Hesperides includes a "Transcribe to Tengwar" feature. However, to make it work correctly,
you will have to install the Tengwar fonts system-wide (they are ncluded in Hesperides
for your convenience, but can only be only used from within the application if you
don't install them system-wide). So use "Font Book" to install the fonts located in the
"Fonts" directory of the disk image.
-
If you want to add additional modes (that is, more TengwarScribe modes) to
Hesperides, or additional fonts as well (as long as they are TrueType), put them in
your "Library/Application Support/Hesperides" folder (located in your home folder).

Hesperides is named after the
Garden of the Hesperides in the Greek mythology, where trees giving golden
apples grew. It was garded by a hundred-headed dragon... A suitable
name for the Mac OS version of Dragon Flame, isn't it?
