aramaic-serto – Fonts and LaTeX for Syriac written in Serto
This package enables (La)TeX users to typeset words or phrases (e-TeX extensions are needed) in Syriac (Aramaic) using the Serto-alphabet. The package includes a preprocessor written in Python (>= 1.5.2) in order to deal with right-to-left typesetting for those who do not want to use elatex and to choose the correct letter depending on word context (initial/medial/final form). Detailed documentation and examples are included.
