hieroglf – The "poor man's" Egyptian Hieroglyphic font
The hieroglf bundle provides a Type 1 renidition of some of the
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphic writing was used
between about 3000 BC and 400 AD.
The bundle is based on Serge Rosmorduc's comprehensive
hieroglyph package, but only
provides about one tenth of his 650-odd hieroglyphs. Sufficient
glyphs are provided for writing a few names like Cleopatra or
Ptolomeny (together with cartouches) and some numbers, but the
package is not for serious Egyptologists.
The bundle is part of a
set of archaic fonts, and requires
use of the oands fonts from that set.
