Where are the fonts? And why do the signs in world really say?

Will our characters ever be able to swear like basically every NPC in the game? Seems a bit strange to hear s*(t and f$@k everywhere and yet be unable to type these words in game.

It would be really nice to be able to say more than "shtako"

There is a fan based effort going. See my sig. for the links. However seeing as there is only one person who knows the grammar rules at the moment, it will take a bit to figure it all out. :)

Memrise courses for high confidence words are here:
Irathient: http://www.memrise.com/course/58229/...nt-vocabulary/
Castithan: http://www.memrise.com/course/57927/...an-vocabulary/
These won't teach you how to speak, but will give a grounding in vocab. Little short at the moment, as there is only one person who knows all the vocab... Growing though. :)

Thezuhaaktu! (Defiance!)

That's something a crazy person would do.
