A new transliteration font

Boris Jegorovic has kindly sent me a package with two nice fonts which cover the "new" code for the Egyptological yod :

Thanks a lot!

If you know of other useful fonts, and think they should be listed on the transliteration page, feel free to mail me.

News about the github archive for JSesh

JSesh sources are now distributed through github. You are able to follow the latest development there, and for the most computer-savvy among you, to compile the files for yourself.

This has been going on for a while. But I have very recently decided to take advantage of the issue management sy...

Installer JSesh sur un Mac récent

Les versions récentes de Mac OS X (et Windows 10) supposent que les nouvelles applications soient installées par le biais d'un Store. Apple a été un pionnier dans ce domaine avec l'Apple Store, créé à l'origine pour l'IPhone.

Ces boutiques en ligne sont très pratiques. Elles fournissent un moye...

About JSesh, Java and Security

Occasionally, people will express concerns about the use of Java in JSesh. I would like to dispel a few legitimate fears here.

At some point, the web was crawling with warnings about security concerns in Java. But why ?

Java is a programming language and environment. By itself, a Java software c...

Two notable book publications with JSesh

In the beginning of JSesh, I had a page about "books published with JSesh". Now that JSesh is more or less the mainstream editor for Hieroglyphic texts, it would be quite an overwelming task - and this website is not meant to be the OEB :-)

Installing JSesh on Linux

A number of people have asked me how to install JSesh on Ubuntu. As Linux users are a bit more expert than usual Windows and Mac Users, and as I had to revert to very specific formats for those two systems, the current "generic" distribution (that is, linux distribution) is very raw.

Anyway, runn...

A90

glyphs encoding

This small text is the first in a list about the problems of hieroglyphic encoding in practice (actually, it could qualify as the second post on the subject, as my previous post about sign D396D396 could qualify too).

I was recently asked a question about the A90 A90 sign in the JSesh library...

About L16

glyphs encoding

I'm currently having discussions about a cleanup of the fonts, and the question of L16 has (re)appeared.

Back in 2008-2009, when M. Thomas developped most of the JSesh fonts, we had a lot of discussions about the Manuel de Codage and the like. Comparing the 1988 MdC with the Winglyph fonts, I wondered a lot about the way L16 looked in both of them.
