This is a very detailed and interesting writing about the runic writings from Tatarlak, presently in Romania. The clay tablets found in the area date back to 4,000 to 6,000 years with Sumerian runic writings. The same writing system was traditionally used and is presently still in use by Hungarians in the area.
At the museum, the information accompanying the exhibits is in the Rumanian language only. The artifacts in the Neolithic section come from the excavations of Zsófia Torma (1840-1899), yet her name is not mentioned anywhere. We were happy to discover, in one
of the display cases, her finds from the crumbling bank of the River Maros. They were broken clay pitchers with runic script on the bottom, among them 6,500 year-old interesting runic letters, e.g (H. Zs. )

What is it?
It's a Runic text processor based on Hungarian runes, a freeware.
Could be used as a tutor to teach runes, or as a translator to convert Hungarian (Latin alphabet) text and display or print it in Hungarian Runic, and of course to type, edit, print, and save runic script in both Left To Right, and Right To Left write directions.
Runes used are the 38 Hungarian-Latin alphabet equivalents ( A to ZS ), and a single rune character: AK. There is no single nor double character in today's Hungarian- Latin alphabet for this AK symbol. It is not part of Hungarian alphabet per se, but an often-occurring sound/ letter-doublet, in the spoken/written language. Apparently there are various versions of Hungarian-Runic alphabets. Undoubtedly the result of evolutionary forces and influences. I picked one that is similar to the Székely runes. Missing from its vocabulary are the various ligatures, bug symbols, and syllabery characters.
The text processor constructs its own runes in monospaced raster font, employing the general straight line and circle formulae: y = a*x + c and r^2 = (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2. There are two sets of Runic alphabets: a "Left To Right" write-direction, and its mirror image "Right To Left". The program could easily accommodate any non-Latin alphabets or other tokens and symbols.
This example next shows the Left-to-right runes produced by the text processor in the lightest font weight. Here in the example font size is 530 by 530 pixels on medium screen resolution 800 by 600 pixels. The text processor can draw fonts in 10 font weights, with font sizes in the range from 150 to 1212 pixels.
