HieroTeX is a package for typesetting ancient egyptian hieroglyphs. It contains a hieroglyphic font, a number of style files, and an helper program in C called 'sesh' which allows one to type hieroglyphic texts using the so-called 'manuel de codage', which is the current standard for encoding ancient egyptian. HieroType1 contains postscript type 1 version of the fonts, and is a strongly recommended addition, as it allows to create nice-looking pdf. The author is Serge Rosmorduc.
