JSesh News
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.
Recent versions of Mac OS X (and Windows 10) suppose that new applications are installed through a “store”.
