Hello. I'm writing some notes on ancient Egyptian and Babylonian numeral systems, and I would like to be able to typeset them. I was pointed to this Web page <http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/index.html> and it looks like "Aegyptus" and "Akkadian" have the symbols I need (plus too much more), but I'm at a loss of how to proceed in using them. Another lead is this article, <http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb26-3/tb84wilson.pdf> in which the last paragraph states that there are fonts I'm looking to use in CTAN. Popping over there, I found fonts/archaic/hieroglf fonts/cun I'm using Tex Live 2007 under Mac OS 10.4.11 on my 12" PowerBook G4. I have never installed new fonts, so the simplest directions would be very much appreciated. I checked the archives and found this thread <http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/macostex-archives/2005-October/ 018111.html> but, to be honest, I'm more than a little dumbfounded still. TIA. ---John.
