hieroglyph alphabet to english. Found five examples
in the archives from sunna jabs of the font. one articile
stating that there was a hieroglyphic font. Never
found it. He/She might have been thinking of winglyph,
flashglyph, or macscribe. With the monoliterals
biliterals and triliterals involved it gets intrigueing.
Below is A thur Z some ar ok many or not. Diddles for
the figures anyone ? keeping within 4x15 or 5x15

This font has been created using JavE's FIGlet font export assistant.
Have a look at: http://www.jave.de
Permission is hereby given to modify this font, as long as the
modifier's name is placed on a comment line.
Ran upon a few sig`s created by sanne jabs awhile ago. Five sig`s
all that were found. One articile stating that there was a hieroglyphic
font, never found it. From those an some reading about how to use an
write with hieroglyphs this file came about. Hopefully these are read-
able, tried to keep them as close as possible to the real thing. If
they are not then i blew it real bad.
Thanks sanne for the spark.
Some upper case keys used for some alt symbols
C = ch
G = fancy jar
H = alt h
M = alt m
P = fancy door
T = alt T
X = sh
Y = alt y
The symbol below stands for writing or scribe to my understanding
2 ink spots on pallette, a jar for ink or water, his writing implement,
and a string or rope that is slung over the shoulder to carry the
tools of the trade.
