Identify the actual two-file resource
The Ruritania distribution listing credits Paul Lloyd, labels the resource 100% Free and names Ruritania.ttf and Ruritania-Outline.ttf. Its before-2005 first-seen note is a listing-history boundary, not a precise design date. Keep the two named files distinct rather than assuming that an application’s generic outline effect produces the supplied Outline design.
Distinguish a documented title credit from the reading-text face
The publisher’s sample for the 2012 Harriman House edition of F. L. Lucas’s Style credits Ruritania by Paul Lloyd for the title and Minion for the text. This is a dated publication credit, not an assertion that the whole book was set in decorative display lettering. For an original programme, compare a short ornamental heading above a plain paragraph, and keep those roles separate as the text grows.
Proof the outline at the smallest planned reproduction size
Use the same original title in the solid and supplied outline resources at an equal visible height. Compare the interior spaces and the gaps between letters on the actual background; an attractive enlarged outline can become weak when reduced. Keep the longest name and date in the proof before fixing the panel width. UnifrakturCook and Rye are independent decorative comparisons, not Ruritania editions. The homepage ornamental copyable name styles substitutes Unicode characters rather than delivering either Lloyd file or applying an outline to ordinary text.
Your questions, answered.
Are the solid and Outline resources documented separately?
Yes. The attributed listing names two distinct files. Compare the actual resources rather than assuming a generic effect is identical.
Does the book credit imply that Ruritania is used for every paragraph?
No. The publisher distinguishes its title font from the Minion text setting.
