I have to say it took me far too long to decide what typeface to use for the Balrog's speech. I was going through and selecting them all, and laughing at the sight of a Balrog speaking in the Garfield comic font, or schoolgirl handwriting with little hearts instead of dots over the 'i's.
I tossed up using some bolder all-caps comic style fonts, or a traditional book-style serif font such as Garamond.
In the end I went with Trajan Pro 3, for the imperious classical all-caps feel.
I had to make sure not to select too complicated a font specification file, lest it shall not parse.
