MacScribe is an Apple Mac program for typesetting hieroglyphs.
It can be purchased from the CCER and details are available at the CCER
web site, where you can download a demo version. The demo version can read
(ie. show you the hieroglyphs corresponding to the text files below) and
print these files, although they say some signs will have lines through
them. Even the demo version will enable you to look at the files below,
as well as any other pieces of hieroglyphic text in Glyph/Macscribe format
(which are sometimes sent as part of the AEL discussion).
Note: MacScribe files are not fully compatible with Glyph ver.
1 files. When Glyph 2 comes out (late 1997) I have been told that this
will no longer be true and MacScribe files will be able to be imported
into Glyph. For MacScribe users, hold on, an update is in the offing! To
use these files, copy into a wordprocessor, save as a text file (or use
Simple/Teach text). Then open it from within MacScribe. There may be a
few signs from the extended set of hieroglyphs, which will appear as question
marks if you don't have that font. In this case you will have to substitute
another sign. Also, sometimes a rearranged sign (inverted) will come out
with question marks in MacScribe. If you check with the typeset images
you can edit this yourself.
