Are you looking to download some fonts for Dwarf Runes?  These are good places to start:

fontspace.com
dafont.com
fonts2u.com

Keep in mind that the people compiling these fonts don't always  distinguish between the runes we have been learning (Cirth, from Appendix E of Lord of the Rings), the runes on Thror's Map in The Hobbit, and runes from any other generic fantasy dwarves.

From those sites, here are some of the more useful fonts:

“Angerthas Moria”

classic look
dafont.com/angerthas-moria

The “Cirth Erebor” set 

classic look
This is the font I have used for my examples.
Be aware that the characters do not correspond directly to the keyboard.
fontspace.com/dan-smiths-fantasy-fonts/cirth-erebor
dafont.com/cirth-erebor
fonts2u.com/cirth-erebor

“Angerthas”

handwritten (brushstroke) look
fontspace.com/bruce-kvam/angerthas
fonts2u.com/angerthas-runes


“Moria”
informal look
Has phases of the moon in place of the numerals.
dafont.com/moria

“Angerthas Moria” (a different "Angerthas Moria" font)
informal look

Here are runes in Thror's Map style.  
“Dwarf Runes”

fonts2u.com/dwarf-runes 


“Moon Runes” handwritten (brushstroke) look
A complete alphabet, though not all the numerals are in rune-style
fonts2u.com/moon-runes  


“Tolkien Dwarf Runes” handwritten  (blobby-pen) look
incomplete alphabet
dafont.com/tolkien-dwarf-runes

Thror's Map uses Anglo-Saxon Runes, so consider just downloading an Anglo-Saxon Rune font. Most of these are "complete" alphabets, but not all the letters may correspond to characters found on Thror's map.
The lower-case letters are more likely to be "standard" characters, with variant forms in the capitals.  The C/K character on Thror's map might be in the C, c, K, or k position.
