The hieroglf package provides a Metafont version of about 60
Egyptian hieroglyphs from Serge Rosmorduc's comprehensive hieroglyph
package. 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 package
is not for serious Egyptologists.
Hieroglyphic writing was used between abot 3000 BC and 400 AD.
It is one of a series of archaic fonts.
The hieroglf package requires the oands package for some symbols
used in the transliteration.
The distribution consists of the following files:
README (this file)
hieroglf.ins
hieroglf.dtx
tryfont.tex
tryfont.pdf
tryfont.ps
The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX
Project Public License (LPPL).
To install the package:
o run: latex hieroglf.ins, which will generate:
pmhg.mf
*.fd files
hieroglf.sty
o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them.
For example: the pmhg*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/hieroglf
the *.fd and .sty files to /texmf/tex/latex/local/hieroglf
On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add the following
line to texmf/fontname/special.map:
pmhg.mf public hieroglf
On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files.
To get the documentation:
NOTE: It is useful, but not essential, to have access to the docmfp package.
If this is not available, read the first few lines of hieroglf.dtx
as to what to do.
o run: latex hieroglf.dtx
o if you want an index, run: makeindex -s gind.ist hieroglf
o run: latex hieroglf.dtx
o Print hieroglf.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
o run: latex tryfont for a testpage of the hieroglf font
