There will be rune font correspondences on the web site. I can only ask for your patience.

I think that's correct. Furthermore, I think that the filled areas in some runes in some fonts is an artifact of the font creation rather than the actual rune. I read about font creation that you can get such effects if the lines composing the character are drawn in the wrong direction (clockwise/counter-clockwise).
