With MacScribe 2, you can typeset Egyptian Hieroglyphic text on your Mac. You can input Hieroglyphs either through their code, through their phonetic value, or by picking them in a sign palette. You can group them in quadrants, write in any direction and add hatches and annotations. All these features can be accessed through menus, keyboard shortcuts and a tool palette.
Power users can directly input standard encoding for the groups.
MacScribe can export its graphics to standard page-layout programs. Its export format is fully configurable, and Macintosh PICTs or EPS can be used. MacScribe comes with an 800-sign PostScript font, in two weights. An additional 6000-sign font can be purchased separately, and contains, in particular, Ptolemaic signs. MacScribe's user interface is available both in French and English.
