+    The hieroglf bundle provides a Postscript Type1 version of about 80
+Egyptian hieroglyphs from Serge Rosmorduc's comprehensive hieroglyph 
+package. Hieroglyphic writing was used between about 3000 BC and 400 AD.
+Sufficient glyphs are provided for writing a few names like 
+Cleopatra and Ptomemy (together with cartouches), and there is a
+command for transliterating into a modern alphabet. The bundle
+is not for serious Egyptologists.
+
+    The bundle is one of a series for archiac scripts.
+
+    The hieroglf package requires the oands package for some symbols
+used in the transliteration.

+
+    To install the package:
+o run: latex hieroglf.ins, which will generate:
+       hieroglf.sty
+       *.fd files
+       hieroglf.map
+o Move *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
+    e.g., .../texmf-local/tex/latex/hieroglf
+o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
+    e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
+          .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
+          .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
+o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex font maps
+o Refresh the database
+ (for more information on the above see the FAQ).
+
+o run: (pdf)latex trypmhg for a test of the font
+
+    To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file):
+o run: latex hieroglf.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
+o run: latex *.dtx
+o Print *.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
