This isn't really work related but nevertheless an interesting obstacle I haven't been able to overcome by myself. I like to think of LaTex as deus ex machina, if you have the knowledge and the documentations you can do anything with it, including writing down the inscription of One ring from The Lord of The Rings. Here is the code:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[annataritalic]{tengwarscript}
\begin{document}
\tengwarannataritalic[1]
\tengwa{254}
\Textendedcalma\TTthreedots\Tnuumen\Tessenuquerna\TTthreedots\Tungwe\Tando\Toore\TTrightcurl\Tumbar\Ttinco\TTthreedots\Tlambealt\TTrightcurl\Tquesse\TTdoublerightcurl

\end{document}
When I first tried to compile this code I ran into the same problem as most people. Package tengwarscript only provides basic metric scheme to the font, but not actual encoding. So I started looking for an answer in these forums and found one: Tengwar script in TeX Live. I followed its instructions:
-
I downloaded and unzipped
.ttffiles -
I placed them in this location:
C:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\truetype\annatar -
I manually installed every font (there is an 'install' button in every
.ttfpackage) -
I ran
mktexlsr.exeas an administrator to make sure everything is updated
Then I compiled the above code again and got a weird result:
Can someone please explain me why this happened, and provide a fix? I'm very confused as my Texstudio reported Process exited normally. Can someone please help me? I thank you in advance.
EDIT: Here is the log file you've been asking for (this time with \pdfmapfile{=tengwarscript.map} included):

EDIT 2: Here is error message when I try to run your recommended command (updmap-sys --enable Map=tengwarscript.map) in CMD:
I just wanted to say that I deeply appreciate your help. Thank you.
UPDATE: I finally managed to solve the problem. The crux was in the fact that TeXLive isn't my main source – the latter is MikTeX. That's why command Ulrike Fischer suggested didn't work. Because of his suggestion I went looking onto this page and found the right commands for MikTeX. I typed initexmf --edit-config-file updmap, created a file with contents of Map=tengwarscript.map and then ran the command initexmf --mkmaps in CMD again. Furthermore, I tried to compile my One Ring code now, and it worked. I'd like to thank all of you for support and guidance, especially Ulrike Fischer and cfs. Thank you SO much!

texlive doesn't activate the map-file of the fonts. Compiling your example with pdflatex would give errors as pdflatex would not be able to find the ttf. xelatex can find the fonts but due to the missing map-file the encoding is wrong and so you get faulty/missing glyph.
To correct the problem for both engines call on a command line
Then a compilation with xelatex and pdflatex should work and give this
