I'm making a design, and I personally want to use the Traditional Irish Gaeilge style, that also includes the lenited consonants with the dot above, but I can't seem to download the font, since all the fonts I've searched, it only designs the Roman Letters in Celtic designs. For example the lower case of the letter "s" in the Traditional Irish Gaeilge style it almost looks like an r, but downloading a Celtic font, Microsoft Word doesn't translate it; the letters in general stay Romanized. Question: Where can I find a generator or something that would translate letter by letter my phrase to an Irish traditional celtic font, like in the "irishgaelictranslator.com" Forum? The Forum has an Irish Font Writer.
Here is the link so you can see what I mean.

The writer has an option to write the phrase in traditional Irish, and that's what I want. I tried it myself, and it looks rad, but it doesn't let me copy the phrase.  

Go raibh maith agat!

I noticed you asked me this question on your other thread, but I'll answer it here since its a seperate question. However, be sure to wait for people to agree on the translation of your original thread before you get the ball rolling.

The Old Font can be found on this website, if you attempt to write a message you'll see at the top of the screen, just below the green bar, you'll find a load of options

e.g. to make the font bold, underline font etc ... .

You should be able to see an option to change the style of font- click on it.

You'll see bunchló ársa, choose that.

[ font=BunchlrsaGCRegular ][ /font ]

Type in between the Bunchlrsa... bracket and the font bracket.

Alternatively, you can highlight the part you wish to have in the Old font and click on the Bunchló font option and that will work too.

Unfortunately, the site doesn't have the ponc. However, traditionally speaking, the ponc was only used to mark lenition on f and t-prefixed s, because in Latin the poc was used to cross out a redundant or incorrect letter. Lenited f doesn't have any sound, neither does s- when a t-prefix is applied, so that's why the ponc was ideal as a marker of lenited f and t-prefixed s. Old Irish used a combination of a regular h, the ponc the spiritus asper (from Greek) to mark lenition.

However, if you still want the ponc, you can find lenited consonants with the ponc in Word. You'll find them in the Latin- extended A options under insert symbols. Choose whichever lenited consonant you want, select it and then copy and paste it into the word box here.

Alternatively, you can copy and paste the lenited consonants from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_type
You'll find the consonants on the second line, under the heading 'Characteristics).

It may be beneficial to copy and paste all the lenited consonants onto a word document and save it, it can save you a lot of hassle and time if you need to go looking for them again.

Note that the consonants are case sensitive, small s looks like r, while capital s looks like a regular s.

Since you seem to have an interest in the Old Script you may like this site http://www.isos.dias.ie/ , there you'll be able to search through the digitised manuscripts.

Please wait for corrections/ more input from other forum members before acting on advice

Download a font, e.g. here: http://www.gaelchlo.com/clonna.html
install it and reboot your system. (It often takes some time before you can use a new font)

Fonts named "ársa" show normal typed r and s as r,s.
But with fonts without "ársa" in their name you must type in ɼ and ſ (don’t ask where you can find them on your keyboard) and the font will show you traditional long insular r and s (and ṡ).

Dotted letters: ḃ, ċ, ḋ, ḟ, ġ, ṁ, ṗ, ṡ, ẛ, ṫ (don’t ask where to find them ...)

This keyboard will enable you to easily type dotted consonants:
