FAQ

1 Hi, I'm a student in archeology at Laval University. I'm actually taking a course in hieroglyphes and I would like to know where I can get signs for Hieroglyphica since some are missing. Thank you

Thank you for your interest in our program. As for your question - yes, some hieroglyphs are missed in our program, but mainly these are just variations of basic signs, and most of missed signs belong to late period. Actually, we have been writing a program which allows you to compose inscriptions, and if you need sign that is not listed there you can draw this one using any program or even manually on a paper when scan it and add it to the program.

2 Are there problems with Hieroglyphica and Windows Vista? Its a lovely program but it keeps stopping working. Reinstalling works for a time and then it happens again.

The program hasn't been tested with Windows Vista yet.

3 I would like add signs in the hieroglyphica database In which format i must to do this? (PNG, SVG) and what tool i must to use? Thanks.

You should use the .BMP image format. It will be converted to vector format automatically during importing.
