Resources: JSesh 2.13.3

JSesh

Serge Rosmorduc has announced that Version 2.13.3 of the open access hieroglyph editor is now available for download.

New features, as described on his website:

  • S. J. P. Thomas have sent me a nice complement for the "K" family, which is now complete
  • Ff4 sign : the "hear with hair" variant of F21 is available
  • Huge improvement in the rendering of editorial parenthesis ([..], {..}, etc...). The size of the parenthesis is now computed from their environment. That is, [[*p*]]*t:pt should display reasonably well. There might be a number of small problems with old Tksesh files. I'll fix this later.
  • Features to support the MacScribe-to-JSesh converter: short bits of texts can be manipulated as glyphs. They are encoded between ".." in the Manuel de Codage encoding (there is no user interface for this feature yet)
  • Individual signs can be shaded with the \shading modifier. Example : t:A\shading12 will have the top of the aleph sign shaded, but not the "t". There is no user interface for this feature yet
  • A few bug fixes (quarter-shading symbols where incorrectly saved, for instance)
  • PDF cut and paste on mac is now much faster (I have removed a large bunch of useless slow code there)
