The French Maitre des Runes is Jean-Paul Lhullier, an excellent chap. He edits "La Toile d'Arachne' Solara", a beautiful broadsheet zine. It includes the "new Runes" in its masthead and sidebars. But, sadly, the God Learnerish scheme he has devised (which Greg and Sandy agreed was most likely the "original and complete" GL rune-set) hasn't yet been published, AFAIK.
The runes he has drawn are beautiful crinkle-cut thingies, and I believe the font he created for this includes the old runes in the same format.
Copies of "La Toile..." may be obtainable from those weird places that still sell RQ stuff by mail-order, or the editorial address may be in an old issue of "Tales" (can't look it up right now: cat on the rampage).
