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