New on CTAN: HitType
by CTAN Announcements 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Jonathan Walls submitted the HitType package. Version: 1.0 2025-02-03 License: lppl1.3c nocommercial Summary description: Typesetting Hittite cuneiform Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The HitType package is a LaTeX package, based on the Ullikummi cuneiform fonts created by Dr Sylvie Vanséveren, which aims to create a simple way of typing in Hittite cuneiform. It is platform-agnostic and allows the user to not only easily insert Hittite cuneiform into a PDF, but also allows for formatting in ways which can replicate real-world Hittite texts. The package can also be used with the expex package for interlinear translation and glossing, and examples are given in the documentation which demonstrate such a usage. Its most important features are the ability to insert cuneiform signs without needing to either search manually for a sign in a list or to memorize/reference Unicode codes, and some user-friendly commands which can create heterographic transcription formatting. Each sign is accessed using an uppercase command such as \AC, based on the Latin or syllabic value of each sign according to the Unicode standard, which is included in the documentation. In fact, the package is constructed in such a way that a user could even change out the font for a different font that they prefer with little to no disruption, simply by changing out the .ttf file in the package for the font of their choice (using the same name of UllikummiX.ttf). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/hittype The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/hittype/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
