Talking Pyramids: Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

Serge Rosmorduc wrote in a message to the AEL discussion group that a new version of JSesh has been released. Here is his message:

Dear all,

You can now download release 2.11.5 of my free hieroglyphic processor JSesh at http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/en/node/1366

New in this version :

JSesh version 2.11.5 brings a number of new features :

* S. Thomas has sent me complete families for T, U, V… only five more, and JSesh will have an (almost) complete coverage of the manuel de codage.

* Menu for “low narrow signs”, “tall signs”, “low broad signs”…

* Better menus for complex shadings (does not change JSesh capabilities, but makes them easier to use).

Press the ‘#’ key, and you will get a contextual menu offering shading options.
Partial shading can be applied to a whole selection.

* In some cases, you can not only copy data from JSesh, but also paste data to JSesh !

This means you can type a text in Mellel or openoffice, and paste back some hieroglyphic texts into JSesh.

Now, this only works with *some* picture formats and *some* word processors. A conspicuous absentee is MS/Word (at least Word 2008 on mac). The reason for this is that I hide the *Manuel de codage* encoding for the pictures in a comment. Now, Word transforms the pictures and the comment is lost. Mellel or openoffice keep the picture intact.

Full documentation for the new possibilities is available at : http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/node/1367

Best regards,

Serge
