这个问题是针对（TeX）考古学家的
注意：如今，我们已经获得了更好的象形文字字体，这些字体存储在单个字体文件、SVG 文件或一系列涵盖所有 Unicode 象形文字的 GIF 中（Gardiner、New Gardiner、彩色 Gardiner、Aegyptus、Hieroglyphica 项目以及可能还有其他），请参阅U13000更多细节。
过去，我们需要更多的字体文件，因为每个字体的字形限制为 256 个。这是一个例子，我们有五个象形文字的字体文件，http://www.rockwellweb.com/hiero.htm. 我们如何才能绘制出所有现存的象形文字？
举个例子：当我们输入\tohiero{A1-A2-A3}TeX 时，我们应该从第一个字体文件 ( GARDAE__.TTF) 中获取前三个象形文字。字形位置为"F021、"F022和"F023。
答案1
我深入挖掘后发现了这个老问题。我正在尝试用新玩具/工具来解决它。
我已经从以下网站下载并安装了这五个 TTF 文件http://www.rockwellweb.com/hiero.htm在我的系统字体中。我们可以注意到，还有我们需要的映射/符号表。我们也可以在http://www.yare.org/egypt/gardiner%20fonts.htm. 我们的任务是用适当的 TeX 命令替换象形文字代码。
我尝试为 XeTeX 和 LuaTeX 用户准备一个解决方案，我正在生成一个临时的 TeX 文件，该文件由独立的 Lua 脚本处理，修改后的结果稍后加载到 TeX 中。数据文件是这两个。
的内容hiero-repl.lua是这样的：

第一次运行 TeX (lualatex或xelatex) 后我们得到：
生成的 TeX 文件包含三行（hieros-input.tex），如下所示：
A10-B3-p-i-y-a-w
A12-A23-M23-M40-Aa30
U1-T33-Aa15
该文件由独立的 Lua 脚本 ( hiero-script.lua) 通过运行以下命令来处理texlua hiero-script.lua：
-- Loading data files...
-- The files are large, I am not including them in this script directly.
require"hiero-all"
require"hiero-repl"

新的 TeX 文件 ( hieros-output.tex) 生成，Processing entry: 1 2 3终端出现提示信息 ( )，文件内容如下：
\ifnum\malc=1 {\fontAE\char"F02A}{\fontAE\char"F05D}{\fontMS\char"F0B6}{\fontFM\char"F0EA}{\fontSZ\char"F0EF}{\fontAE\char"F0BA}{\fontFM\char"F0A4}\fi

下次运行 TeX 后，我们会在 PDF 文件中得到此片段。每个象形文字都独立于其他象形文字显示。每行代表一个 TeX 条目（\tohiero命令）。
显示象形文字是一个相当复杂的领域，该示例仅涵盖我们从常规排版中了解到的一个方向。
