在伯顿的《数学史》中，介绍了以下象形文字图画：
对于我计划写一些有关埃及算术的东西，我想使用类似的象形文字——它们显然是手绘的。
Latex 是否有可能近似这些图形（如果可能的话，厚度也差不多）？
我查看了该hieroglf软件包，但并未在所有情况下找到与 Burton 书中的图纸相似的图纸。此外，我在文档中找不到任何与 10,000,000（即推测的“旭日”）有关的内容。
例如，
这是用代码生成的
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hieroglf}
\begin{document}
\Huge
\pmglyph{\Hone \hskip 15pt \Hten \hskip 15pt \Hhundred \hskip 15pt, \Hthousand \hskip 15pt \Hslash \hskip 15pt \HCthousand \hskip 15pt \Hmillion \hskip 15pt} rising sun?
\end{document}
通过搜索此网站，我发现了制作象形文字的其他方法，这些方法需要 Xelatex 或 LuaLatex——这对我来说都不是一个选择。
问：八、九个伯顿象形文字是如何产生的？pdf文件是否具有与所展示的图片相似的手绘效果和厚度（如果可能的话）？
谢谢。
答案1
根据版权问题，你可以扫描图片或者像这里一样画出替换图片
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
1,200,001 =
\includegraphics[height=1em]{Hg}
\includegraphics[height=1em]{Hf}
\includegraphics[height=1em]{Hf}
\includegraphics[height=1em]{Ha}
\end{document}
使用：
答案2
显然，可以（非常有耐心）对每个象形文字进行“描摹”。为此，我使用 TikzEdt 和所述技术这里.以下是一些结果。
