Description

MacScribe allows you to typeset Egyptian hieroglyphics easily, and then either print directly or export to another document.

This package contains

MacScribe 1.3 demo version
The Glyph Basic font set, with Type 1 PostScript and bitmap
24 pt bitmaps of the Glyph ExtLib font set.

The Glyph Basic font set contains about 900 signs, corresponding roughly to Gardiner's Grammar "Sign List". The Glyph ExtLib font contains 4700 signs. Both were designed on the lead font of the French Institute in Cairo (IFAO).

MacScribe demo has all the functionalities of the full version, but cannot export by copy-pasting, and has limited printing capabilities (in particular, all signs are printed with a stroke on them).

Requirements

ATM is recommended. If you use the Extended Library, give it as much memory as you can afford (1 meg. looks reasonable). A Level 2 PostScript printer is strongly recommended.
