[Egyptian] Testing hieroglyphic web fonts on your web browser

[Bob Richmond]

hfref fixed. Thanks Nigel.



I’ve had to figure out the best way forward now demands for column writing and rare quadrat forms have delayed adding basic hieroglyph writing to the Unicode standard for another year.



My first step is to make sure people on this list can use appropriate web fonts for which its sufficient to be able to read the Westcar extract on Browser Test Page for Hieroglyphic in Unicode development<http://www.egpz.org/Page/UnicodeDevTest>. Yes, annotated pages would be useful additions and I’ll document how this ‘pre-standard’ system works when time permits.

It would be really good for you to have an annotated page to show how it works. A lot of stuff is in external files that I cannot easily see, one of the curses of the modern web. And there is a hfref for href I think…
