Brill has published a font family for its publications. I admit I haven't looked closely at its legal limitations, but anyway, it's a nice step in the right direction: it has full support of Egyptian translitteration, including "Egyptological yod", made with i and U+0486 (as...
J'ai reçu récemment, envoyés par les auteurs :
Sylvie Cauville & Mohammed Ibrahim Ali, Philæ, itinéraire du visiteur, Peeters 2013
Guide très détaillé du temple de Philæ (328 pages !), avec de nombreuses photographies, traductions et commentaires d'inscriptions hiéroglyphiques choisies, donnée...
I have just downloaded LibreOffice 3.4.3 (one of the versions of OpenOffice). And I am very pleased.
At last, the hieroglyphs are antialiased.
Copy/Paste using RTF with EMF as graphical format works well, and allows to paste back the hieroglyphs into JSesh. The only problem (If I insist on fin...
Serge Thomas has kindly sent me a number of improved versions of JSesh signs. There are two new collections.
The first one contains lots of signs in all families, and the second one contains an improved "I" family.

JSesh documentation will move from the main site to a secondary one : http://jseshdoc.qenherkhopeshef.org. This way, I intend to involve more people, so that translations of the documentation are available.

I have just published a Unicode font for hieroglyphs. I have also created a file which might be of use to programmers, with an equivalences between the Manuel de Codage and the current Unicode encoding.

Julio Fontan has sent me a while ago a nice version of the Aten Hymn, and has agreed for inclusion of this version in the JSesh text library. Thanks, M. Fontan!
Now, the next version of JSesh is taking some time to be published, as I have to rewrite and reorganize most menus. That's a huge cleanup...
Jsesh 4.3 has been downloaded 14700 times! Ok, one of the reasons is that it has been around for a long time now (nearly a year). Don't dispair, a new version is forthcoming - but I'm cleaning up the software for this new version, and it takes lots of time.
M. Thomas has sent me a lot of new signs, both "really new" ones (in particular an impressive collection of crowns), and improved versions of existing signs (I'm particularly fond of his new G17).
Thanks again !
