The author of request PROMISED TO release his font. I don’t see it for now, so draw for yourself if you want.

Size — any but consistent.
Source — always specified, whether you drew it for yourself or took elsewhere.

Working commit Fonts/UnicodiaHiero.ttf and Fonts-source/Egyptian/UnicodiaHiero.ttf

Yes, I WAS working on transferring at least something into Unicode. Not 4000, but 2900, from JSesh. Stumbled on real problems: IDK how to auto-check correctness. Need boolean operations with curves ELSEWHERE: FontForge constantly confuses direction.

Correct new gardiner next version 2.10 Add label new unicode.

Nov 03 '24 07:11 nataliakeniganti

Correct new gardiner next version 2.10 Add label new unicode.

We call it “divide bear’s pelt before killing”. Or “cook a hare before catching” in English. NewGardiner WAS my backup font when dozens of characters were wrong. All work on Noto to bring U15.1 was MINE: I drew, Daniel Werning checked.

I periodically check if someone releases those 4 thousand. No fools :(

Nov 03 '24 22:11 Mercury13

Working hieroglyphs unicode 16.0.

Nov 06 '24 14:11 nataliakeniganti

Calm down, lady! They are absent EVERYWHERE!

Nov 06 '24 15:11 Mercury13

start in november 12 and december-2024

Nov 12 '24 18:11 nataliakeniganti

Calm down! It’s better to check: how to import e.g. JSesh.

Nov 12 '24 20:11 Mercury13

Unicode block is not done

Nov 13 '24 12:11 nataliakeniganti

Add invalid label

Nov 20 '24 21:11 nataliakeniganti

Natalia, I’m thinking what to do, but 2900 random characters (out of 4000) is not what we expect from Unicodia. All Egyptian fonts have murky licensing rules.

Tried to auto-fix 100 SVGs. 14 of them the machinery is unable to fix, reasons are. Curves touch in one point due to sloppy editing: 2 Curves form a negative angle, and the system is unable to fix it due to roundoff errors: 4 Curves touch in one point intentionally: … eye: 3 …flat object + smth else: 3 Unclassified artifacts (unintended intersections, round-off errors, etc): 3 (one SVG falls into two categories simultaneously) So from 3000 SVGs I’ll probably need 450 hand-edited.

Nov 21 '24 01:11 Mercury13

Cache contains 63 files. It means: out of 100, my software helped with 49 and failed with 14. I managed to remove unclassified artifacts in one SVG, leaving negative angle only.

Nov 21 '24 02:11 Mercury13

More work, 11 left Curves unintentionally touch in one point due to sloppy editing: 2 (UNFIXABLE with machinery) Curves form a negative angle, and the system is unable to fix it due to roundoff errors: 1 (maybe fixable) Curves intentionally touch in one point: …eye: 3 (IDK how to auto-fix) …flat object + smth else: 3 (same) Big self-intersection machinery unable to erase: 1 (UNFIXABLE with machinery) Intersection between two curves so small that Inkscape sees nothing, and FontForge’s UI glitches: 1 (UNFIXABLE with machinery)

Nov 21 '24 03:11 Mercury13

Again, ≈330 glyphs is still much

Nov 21 '24 03:11 Mercury13

Started hieroglyphs

Nov 21 '24 05:11 nataliakeniganti

Ran script on the entire directory. Actually 226 hieroglyphs are left for hand-editing.

Nov 21 '24 08:11 Mercury13

Just a few hand-edited out of 200. 1070 tofu.

Nov 22 '24 11:11 Mercury13

Replace wontfix label to new unicode.

Nov 22 '24 17:11 nataliakeniganti

Add missing 44 tofu glyphs

Nov 22 '24 18:11 nataliakeniganti

Where to find them? I repeat, there’ll be 1070 tofu out of 3995.

Nov 22 '24 18:11 Mercury13

Want to help? Have Inkscape skills? Download Unikemet base and JSesh, and start modifying. If a character in Unikemet has a JSesh ID → IT’S ALREADY PRESENT, but you may take it as a base for other chars. Work only on characters WITHOUT JSesh ID. Sizes don’t matter, font’s quality is initially sloppy. Meanwhile I’ll address all issues of my automation, and turn Tulu demo font to working.

Forgot more hieros

Nov 22 '24 18:11 nataliakeniganti

Not really 44. ONE THOUSAND AND SEVENTY. Really need workforce.

Nov 22 '24 20:11 Mercury13

Do 1070 tofu hieros

Nov 22 '24 20:11 nataliakeniganti

My log now shows 134 problem SVGs. 90 are fixed by hand now.

Nov 23 '24 15:11 Mercury13

The most common problems that need human’s intervention: • curves marginally intersect, so Inkscape does not register intersection, and FontForge does • curves intentionally touch. Not really a problem but FontForge raises an alarm • curves form a very acute negative angle (−5…0°), so Inkscape sees intersection, but my script fails to fix • misc. glitches, probably by FontForge’s Simplify: e.g. saw two straights turned to wild curves
