   *MIke's right that half-round is probably the best aesthetic solution. You may want to upsize them though since their cross-sectional capacity is much lower than k-gutters.Installing hangers to hold the circles will involve the roof edge a bit. Ideally the top of the hanger gets mortised flush with the sheathing (anyone doing it 'right'?) so it doesn't make a lump in the roofing. If you use copper gutters the roofers around here advise against copper hangers - too soft and bend too easily. Plated / galvanized doesn't seem to cause galvanic action problems with the copper, although technically it should.I think you might make the 'end view' worse by attempting a gutter return, even with some sort of enclosure.Good luck

   help-I have a turn of the century victorian that had "in soffit" gutter system that I demo'd after it had done its damage. I would like to install conventional gutters, but the rake on the fascia is not plumb and it would look very awkward having the ends of the gutters displaying themselves at each gable tail. Can one retrofit a return that incorporates the gutter and maintains some sort of esthetic elegance.
