I have uploaded a new version of HieroTeX, my hieroglyphic package.
*They can be found on ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/incoming/HieroTeX-3.5.tgz and ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/incoming/HieroType1-3.1.4.tgz
They should replace all files in the directory fonts/hieroglyph
The whole package is under the GPL
Summary : HieroTeX is a package for typesetting ancient egyptian
hieroglyphs. It contains a hieroglyphic font, a number of style files, and an helper program in C called sesh which allows one to type hieroglyphic texts using the so-called manuel de codage, which is the current standard for encoding ancient egyptian. HieroType1 contains postscript type 1 version of the fonts, and is a *strongly* recommended addition, as it allows to create nice-looking pdf.
i have installed the two files in fonts/hieroglyph, as requested, and have taken the liberty of extracting files LISEZMOI and README from the HieroTeX file, and placing them in the directory to offer guidance on what the directory is for.
thanks the upload
