HieroTeX is a package for typesetting ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. It contains a hieroglyphic font, a number of style files, and a 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. The distribution includes "HieroType1", a Type 1 version of the fonts, which permit creation of nice-looking pdf. The author is Serge Rosmorduc.
